Hello from sunny Wales

[Ysbytymike]

Hi There,
New to this forum but been around bikes a long time. Started riding back in the seventies but had a break when four wheels were more convenient than two.
Later in life realised the error of my ways and never looked back, 'except when overtaking' that is.
Retired now but most of my life I've been very active which included, caving, diving and 12 years as a member the Brecon mountain Rescue Team.
Professional Photographer for over 35 years.
Recently taken up Metal Detecting as another hobby.
Currently have two bikes... FJR 1300. BSA B31 1957.

Welcome. There are a few MR sorts here. I'm sure they will be along so to say hello. It seems that had a busy weekend

Hi Mike

 

[Ysbytymike]

Cheers guys.

Howdy Bob. Not met, but spoke to you on the phone about a DRZ you were selling a couple of years ago.
As it happened an XR250 came up at the time.

Hello Mike, welcome to the forum from South Oxfordshire. Are you here for Simons bike

 

[Ysbytymike]

Hi Loggy,

Had a few RD07's in the past but sorry I sold them now. Only have a small garage so something had to go.
Decide to sell my FJR and go back to old school. The @T will do all the milage I'm hoping to be able to do
plus its a lovely bike to ride off road.

Welcome along Mike, we won't hold it against you being a member of Brecon MRT

Hi Sharribee, You wouldn't believe the times I've heard that line...

No, retired back in 99 when I finished self employment. My new job was on average 11 hour day including a 70 mile round trip to and from work. So no way would I have
been allowed to respond. To be honest my knees were shot anyway.

Mikey, Best team out there (at the time). No idea what their like these days, but really proud to have done my time.

 

[Sharribee]

Ahh you retired the year I started with Bridgend

As for the best team, there's always a bit of healthy competition in South Wales

Our paths may have crossed then.

Nickname of 'flash' when with the team Mikey. Not because I was quick, I hasten to add but the occupation.
Ring any bells?

Nah. But I've never been good with names.
