By Way of Introduction

Post by roadster »

Hello,

I have just registered as Roadster with my obscure collection of bikes and scooters. Honda CT90, Triumph Daytona 500, Suzuki T200 from the 1970s and Honda CB300R and Silence S01 ( electric scooter ) for everyday use. In case you are wondering I am older than any of them!

I'm not riding anywhere near the limit now, at least not deliberately! But I do have a small collection of road racing trophies from the past.

Hello and welcome.

That's definitely an eclectic mix. :thumbup:

There may be questions about the electric scooter.... :D

Hello!

My first rides on a 'big' bike were a mate's Triumph 500 Tiger (Tiger 100, IIRC). So if you're older than that ... Welcome to the alternative waiting room :D

Welcome. You may be even older than me, you certainly have more bikes.

Welcome in roadster.

My first bike was a T250,same generation to your T200,so I'm probably of a similar age.

It'd be cool to see some pics of the old ladies. 8-)
