Had a message from Tony Nitrous on the GSX14 Org, telling me about this place...So here I am
I live in sunny South Wales, but originally from Bristol.I still work in Bristol and commute three times a week on my GSX1400.
I've been riding since 1978.
Bikes owned over the years include..
Kwak KE100
Yam RD250DX
Yam XS250..A bad move!!!
Yam DT175MX
Then it was a break for a few years until I restored a H*nda 400/4 in about 2000.
Before..
And after..
I soon got bored with the 400/4 and sold it to a Japanese guy who exported it back to Japan.
I then got hold of a tatty Bandit 600 Mk1 and played with it for a while until I needed more power. Sold the 600 and bought a Mk1 1200 in Jan 2001.
It started off as a bog standard "S" model with a fairing in a rather uncommon colour..Brown!!
Over the years it has evolved into this and is still ridden when the weather is good
A nice GS1000E came on the scene, but regrettably I sold it. It was a US import to the UK and is now somewhere in Australia.
I had a nice KTM DukeII, but that had to go as it wasn't the ideal commuter bike. I still miss it's hooligan tendencies.
At present it's just the Bandit and my trusty GSX1400FE in the shed...Along with my sons DRZ400SM and his newly acquired Mk1 Bandit 600.
I've put 25k miles on the GSX in just under three years and it gets ridden all year round in all weathers.
I am a part owner of another bike forum. Some of you may have heard of it? Feel free to pop in and have a look around.

I hope this intro hasn't been too boring...I'm usually a quick post and scarper member..They don't all go on this long
