h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi,

I’ve been riding motorcycles more or less continuously since the early 70’s.

First bike was a 125cc Vespa Scooter. It was seventh hand and 14 years old and I paid a tenner for it. However, it taught me the basics of riding and motorcycle mechanics and how to survive when you’re not very good at either.

Now I ride a Honda VTR1000, which I’ve owned since 1997 (the year it was launched) and which I’ve kept because I can’t find a better bike to replace it. It’s very fast, very loud and very yellow!

I ride all year round, all over the UK and Europe and even manage the odd track day - some very odd indeed

Welcome to the club!

I'm sure the others will make you welcome...I'm not about much, but there's a few regulars.

Hopefully one day someone will organise a ride, as there's quite a few club-members based in the UK. I might even be able to get over there one day...

I've always liked the VTR1000, not suprised you've hung on to it.
