    Hi Guys name is Paul from Forest of Dean Gloucestershire, been riding bikes now for 35 odd years.
    Rode Moto X in my early days also sustained a few nasty injuries on the way (Knee,s).
    Road bikes started on a TS 50 back in the day had then KMX 125, GSFX 600, NC 30, CBR 600 CBR600 RR, Fireblade .
    My current bike for touring is a Triumph Sprint ST 1050 2008 this was bought after a trip to Monza riding my CBR 600 RR it killed me since having the Triumph I've been to France, Spain, Portugal, Germany,Italy and off to France again this Oct.
    Done lots of track daying my last track bike being a Aprilla Tuono.
    Anyway that's enough about me looking forward to lots of advice and banter.

    Cheers Paul. :upyeah:

    Hi Lewie welcome to the forum, think you will find plenty of members here of a similar age now choosing bikes with comfort in mind, myself included.

    Welcome! Is it the comfort vs speed or the fact as we get older we value life more!
