Hi all just a quick introduction, I've been riding all my adult life, but up until 7 years ago I never owned a classic, my current bikes are a 1972 Triumph TR6P, 1958 BSA A7, 1966 BSA C15S, I also have a 2006 Suzuki GSXR1000 that I used to do track days on and since 2014 converted it into a drag bike and competed in the UK national drag racing championships, I'm an ex mechanic and ex miner and still work as a computer engineer at 61.

cheers Jay

G'day Jay  *welcome*
You'll love the old bikes. The adrenaline goes with the Gixer. The mechanics skills will come in handy.
Cheers
