    Hi all, new member here from Essex, recently purchased a Sprint GT after several years out of the saddle, had many bikes through the years from retro, classic, sports bikes, then Harleys, then BMW Adventure, then a break now onto the next chapter.

    Welcome! I've had a 2011 Sprint GT for 5 years now and added about 17k miles to the clock, including some memorable rides in the Utah National Parks (Bryce, Zion, Arches and others). Lovely ride and comfortable enough for a long ride. Plenty of power for a modest weight! It tends to be a bit top-heavy on low speed maneuvers, but certainly manageable. Enjoy!

    Welcome Malcolm.
    I don't proscribe to the concept of midlife crises. It is described as a middle-aged man having grown up and now recognising his mortality reverts to his younger self. As I never grew up it doesn't apply to me...
