    Hi Everyone

    I'm new to the forum and new to motorcycling after a 30 year break. Bought a new Street Scrambler in June and have been loving it. My riding skills were a bit rusty at first but now gaining confidence. The scrambler is very agile and yet stable when you want it to be. I've done over 2000 miles and the engine just gets better and better - smooth and responsive with lots of go in 3rd and 4th gear. I'm having a ball though pity winter feels around the corner, at least I've had a great summer.

    Welcome, Nick.
    Enjoy the fun and frolics herein. Sometimes we get serious, but it never lasts very long - thankfully!

    Welcome Nick......Good choice of ride!
    Your story sounds just like mine.......A similar age and picked up my Scrambler in May this year, after a 26 year break - My last bike, a Kawasaki ZXR750H2 back in 1991.
    Used to live in your neck of the woods too......Huntingdon until 2001.

    If it wasn't for the Gulf Stream and the Atlantic Conveyor we'd have winter's like Nova Scotia. Instead we get wet and miserable, so get in a stock of FS365 spray.
