NOR New Guy
Hi All,
Got bitten by the motorbike bug 6 months ago. Got myself an RE and a shiny new Honda VTR 250 in metallic black (now with CF Roo pipe). Have been clocking up the K's over the last 6 months, and whilst enjoying it immensely, had already decided to go for a bigger bike after my 12 months 'probation' ends in November 
What I shouldn't have done was start looking at what type of bike I wanted, because I'm not really one to sit on my hands and wait for things if a) I am motivated, b) I have some spare $$$ in the bank, and c) something I like becomes available 
I'm now also the proud owner of a 2007 Triumph Daytona 675 in metallic graphite grey  (thanks to Jono - formerly of LCM and now with Suzuki).
Because I still have another 6 months on RE, I am keen to gain some riding experience on the Trumpy, so thought I could come along on some of the more 'sedate' group rides if someone will volunteer to be my shadow. I live out Scarborough way 
BTW, I'm also a member on Perth Riders forum

Aaaah, apologies for being a little thick. I claim an age-related concession.
