Another Newbie says hello

Post by Ian Haitch » Sun Jul 12, 2020 11:22 am

Hello all,

I’m new here as was recommended the site by a mate who I bought my new acquisition from.

The bike I have added to my stable is a 1984 Pop up headlight edition. It is pretty much bog standard and has been well looked after. Put the first few miles on her and can say I’m not disappointed.

Runs and rides as well as she looks, though the riding position has took some getting used to!
Been a while since I’ve adopted the ‘sports bike’ position.

Anyway, hello one and all, look forward to using the site and the hive mind.

Thanks for"popping along". Yep the riding position takes a touch of getting used to, but it soon comes natural...Even at 6'1" it's ok on a long journey ,but the 16" is at home on roundabouts.
