Absentee returns

Post by The Afterburner »

Hi guys, I’ve been AWOL from here for a year or two on account of life stuff (And not having a bike). I am however picking up a new bike on 8th March😜.

I appreciate that my absence may have gone unnoticed πŸ˜‚, but I’m here nowπŸ‘‹. So if anyone could paraphrase the last couple of years shenanigans and shithousery for me 😜!!

Welcome back. What's the bike?

I don't think that much has changed in the last two years here.

I had a couple of years off too. :D
Nice one with the bike. Be interested in the ride report. Ah..I know one thing that's happened. 90% of people on here ride MT07s, 3 ride Suzukis, 1 Kwak, 1 Harley, 1 GS1150....but they'll probably be getting MT07s too. :lol:

We were all going to Portimao to become track gods but Covid fucked that

Couchy gave up bikes, bought some bikes, rode some bikes, sold some bikes, you know the score

Its hot and sunny with cheap beer in Lanzarote apparently

Weeksy changed form being a KTM fanboi to a Yamaha one ..... thats about it really :thumbup:

Welcome back :obscene-drinkingcheers:

We all got old and now spend all day on here talking aches, pains, bladders and prostates (or lack of). Once in a while we'll mention bikes.
