Hi, New to the scene having finally passed my direct access (first time!) just after lockdown was lifted. Been threatening to do it since I was in my 20's - but never went for it as I was a Boy Racer at the height of the (now defunct) street race scene - and knew i'd ride like a loon so stayed away. 42 now - job, responsibilities, blah blah blah - I drive a little slower now and have "the fear" I lacked as a young 'un. Thing is - I don't know anyone down here in N somerset who rides, and I HATE Facebook / social media - so i'm left with awkward introductions in carparks / pubs or forums.... so here I am Riding a CB500 (2003) which I LOVE - even though it's going to need a total stripdown in the winter to rebuild - it wasn't looked after by the three prev owners at all >:/ J.
