    Hi and welcome - I assume you ride a Bonneville (we love pics on here).;)
    Whereabouts are you? North or south?

    Hi Wally welcome, I'm guessing as the road in your avatar looks damp you possibly live in Scotland!?

    Hi Wally, nice to see the age profile being lowered here, good lad. And I'm not going to be one of those that demands to see pictures ,,,, mind you, a few photos wouldn't go amiss.

    Lot of hi's, thanks
    From Manchester way, yes its my Bonnie (my son's picture :)),
    I'm not very good with this computer stuff and pictures to phones but will see if the lad can't get me some!
    recently back to biking after a long, long break.

    Started in my teens (pre history!) on a yam 50 (I can't even remember what it was!) and graduated to a suzy gt250. Comfort and cars got to me and its only a few years ago I got the urge (and cash!) and pondered what to get.

    Did a 'refresher' day on some sort of 600 , didn't kill myself and went to the bike show at the NEC to hunt a new beast down. Loved the Bonny, though its not the same as the ones I recall from my former days, tried a few bikes on demo and but thought they were too heavy for me.

    Bought the Bonnie, but perhaps I'm not as hardened as you all seem to be and its laid up in the garage till spring (sorry if I have let you all down by not being a hard nosed winter biker!!!)

    Happy days!!

    Hi Walley,
    At least you will not spend half the morning removing the road slime and FS365ing it, nice puddles of water on the rubber mat. Oh the Skoda push handle is immaculate.
