    hi all
    Newbie to biking in general (passed my test last year) after many years of dreaming about becoming a biker I took the plunge last year. I purchased a Ktm 390 and had it for 10 whole weeks before it was stolen!!

    Just purchased my dream bike in the form of a street triple (2016) and pick it up on Monday.

    Apart from shitting it that it will get stolen I can't wait to get out on some sunny days and feel the wind and listen to the glorious sound track!

    Looking forward to joining the forum and meeting anyone who's local!

    Si

    Welcome to the forum Deeds.
    Nice choice of bike and I am glad you haven't let the thieving scumbags spoil your future biking days.
    Tracker, chains, disc lock, we all have to do it mate.

    couple of local guys then.... lets get something arranged - a bacon sarnie and cuppa out in the peaks sounds like a good way to spend a day.
