Hi My name's Jennie and I live in Northamptonshire. I've just popped in here at the invitation of one of your esteemed members! (He happens to be in my local bike club too). I used to ride an XS250 (so many years ago!) and in those lovely pre-125 days! Passed my test last month (hurrah!) on a Yamaha SR125, (having had a slight mishap in March on an ER500) so, on restricted license for a couple of years - which I hope will pass fairly swiftly. I now ride a Honda CB350F (1972) and love it. Hope to join in on some rides out next year with you - if you don't mind Hondas joining in!  |

I'm guessing you've been invited by Mac seeing as you've got a classic Honda. Hondas are always welcome, especially when ridden by ladies. I have a classic Honda myself ;D See you soon |

Previous bikes.... had a TS125 about 26 years for a few months, does that count? Loads of info here and one or two "technical wizards" so you have come to the right place for help. Would like a TS125 for my daughter to learn on and me to play on don't see many old ones about (the old pretty ones). Neil |

Hi Ronnie, I'm in Blanefield - bike should be delivered tomorrow so I'll maybe get a chance to play about with it then - apparently it's popped the seal on the oil filter. Apart from that it's a 2000 bike with a 97 front end and scruffy panels. (and please don't tell me that the oil filter thing is a common problem with diversions and it means the whole bike has to be replaced - I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an easy fix!)
Hi neil, no not a volvo, mind you it's not a skoda either, it's been Daihatsu's for a few years now. I've got a thing for obscure cars, Skoda's are too mainstream now!
Yes the TS was a pretty bike, but not to be recommended for Southampton to Glasgow in October on L plates. Actually it never made Glasgow, it got scrapped about 30 miles short.

Hello!
Dan, living in Bristol, UK, a young 40 something. I previously owned a Divvy 600 for 35k miles, then after a few years break I have just purchased a '95 Divvy 900.
Great to be back on the bike again, even if just in time for the winter! Snow, in October? That's just wrong...
Hope to catch up with some of you at some point! Any of you attend the Bristol MAG?
Later!

Hi everyone! I'm Alan, 28 living in Baht. I've just joined the forum, and I'll be picking up my XJ600 Diversion tomorrow. It's an M-reg, but has less than 12k miles on the clock. It'll be my first bike, as I only passed my test 3 weeks ago!
