    Hey all just thought I'd introduce myself being new to the forum.

    The name's Dan and I ride a beautiful white 2011 Speed Triple which I have named Zeus. I've been riding for almost 3 years now having owned a Yamaha MT-07 as my first bike. I have unfortunately come off the Triple once about a year ago and had to rebuild it which gave me an opportunity to give a seriously deep clean and have the bike looking new again. I'm a fair weather rider and having ridden throughout a lot of the lower end of the UK but am yet to venture to places I've heard are amazing like Wales and Scotland for instance.

    I am a 3D Animator and Graphics designer by trade but have dabbled with 3D printing/decal design/CNC drawings. I have a huge passion for engineering which I will be taking further in 2019 making bike parts ;) and over the last several years I have built a fully custom Classic Mini with a Yamaha R1 engine which stands extremely competitive and has even won custom car shows. Other hobbies involve natural competitive bodybuilding where I have competed in the British finals 3 times over the last couple of years and have become a British champion in one, 2nd and 3rd in the other two shows. As you can tell I'm quite the busy bee lol.

    That's me in a nutshell....pleasure to meet you all and looking forward to a good mingle.

    Cheers

    Dan
