    Hello, another newbie here, back to biking after 40 years absence and just passed my test in May so I could buy a 2016 Speedmaster.
    Used to commute to London back in the early 80's on a Honda CD175 and never had the chance to ride for fun, now.

    Good morning Richard and welcome aboard. Welcome back after your lengthy absence. That old itch never goes away. You might consider taking a little refresher course on basics and safety as bikes have changed quite a bit in the past 40 years. Remember to always ride safe and enjoy!
