    Eyup all in here.
    I just found this place today, I'm Pleased about that!
    I'm a 61 year old, Fat bloke in Lancaster UK.
    1st bike when I was 10 was a D14/4 BSA Bantam 175. Since then I've had 70 or so bikes and Scooters. everything from a Mobylette moped to a Kawasaki Z1300 and all things in between.
    April 1996 I was heading to work on my Suzuki GV1200 Madura. I went round a tight S bend in the road and, as I was straightening up on the other side, the Bevel drive on the rear Hub locked up!
    I was taken to Hospitals, (ex) wife and my family told not to expect me to survive the day!
    Coma for about 7 weeks, made it out obviously. It took me a couple of years to walk, still many other issues now. Got riding again in 2010, TS1000, XBR 500, Enfield, KLE 650, Van-van and all sorts.
    Had Severe Traumatic Brain Injuries, it's a great excuse for all sorts of stuff. Got rid of all in 2014 after a Bad Brain Scare. Now starting to try again and aiming to stay with the little 'uns. I've got a 1984 GSX250E Suzi'. It's in need of a bit of Fettling but I am, slowly, getting there.
    I Found this place and I plan to Bother you with Lots of questions, Idiotic ideas, the Full Wossname!
