Hiding no more

Post by Alespiller » Fri May 11, 2012 7:57 pm

Hi all, I have been lurking for a while on this fine board.

My first Honda was a '74 SL125 which I bought on 1978, then I had an XL185. After that I was bikeless for 4 years but got a Honda MTX125 to get my full license, which allowed me to get CBX 550. My last bike was a Yam FJ1200 which I sold when I stopped biking completely in 1991 thinking with some relief "That was good and I live to tell the tale".

I was perfectly happy just living with my biking memories for a long time but then, and I can only blame pre-senile dementia, last year I bought myself a chickenchaser and I was smitten. These little bikes are just like me, they come with a lot of history, are high mileage and not as fast as younger models. I reckon I will be riding one of these as long as they are willing to insure me.

Thanks for the warm welcome all, I have updated my profile Leiba, including a photo of me and that is me not Fidel Castro which I do sometimes use. I also use Alec Guiness as Obi Wan Kenobi on the odd occasion. I am getting my new C90 next Saturday, should be no problem fitting into the back of the car as it comes in boxes.
