    Newbie here, been a bit of a lurker for a while but took the plunge.
    I've had plenty of bikes in 27 years since I passed my test!!!

    A couple of triumphs, t110 tiger cub, tiger 1050, street triple RX and I currently have a speed triple 1050 abs and a rocket X. So thought this forum would be a good fit.

    I'm blessed (when the weather is good) to live on the Scottish West coast, so some great roads locally with regular rides out to the "green welly" in Tyndrum, Oban and Glen Coe to name a few.

    If any members live locally please feel free to get in touch, in fact anybody that fancies a ride out, I'm always game.

    Always looking to personalise my bikes so I'll be actively searching the classifieds too, for those bargains.
    Looking forward to contributing and hopefully meet a few of you out and about.
    Jon
