Hi, your right about the mid life crisis bit, but I got in early and bought mine when i was 47

... I never quite left bikes...just covered what I have for 25years...!! And then added lots of random parts over the years... Early eBay was great for parts... Then covered up too... Clock turns to June this year and a chance meeting with an old friend and clearing my garage and I am away and running again...!! Found a before-ish- and after pic of my old one...

[Ginger spuds]

Cannot work out how to get pics up...

Hi ginger spuds where in Cornwall are you?

The North mate.. around Camelford area..more wind turbines than you can shake a stick at...

[Nicky Dodds]

Still Cornwall all the same bud, most of my family are in st Ives and I'd move down there like a shot if I could. Some interesting roads lol
