Hello from North Devon.
Boring back story.....
I've ridden bikes for years, was well into building fighters back in the 90s, nearly bought a tuber back then but less than 4 years old with 7 previous owners put me off.
Then family came along and the bikes switched to crossers and enduro bikes and then they got parked up in the garage and forgotten whilst I messed with VWs instead.
But as I approached 40 I promised myself the bike of my dreams, for years the BMW GS, then I switched to hankering after a Ducati 916/996 - to be honest there are loads of dream bikes, I just dont want an inline four again.
So now I'm 44, lost a whole summer of any freetime but saved myself 15K by building my own house extension - I damn well deserve that bike!
I've been eyeing up the Ducatis, wondering if it's all a bit too sensible, too shiny, too 'nice' (and too bleeding expensive) when during a random visit to a bike shop - I spy a Firebolt..... but it's sold.
This rekindles my interest in Buells, I started to look around, it's my birthday Saturday - fingers crossed I'm off to look at an XB9 SX.
So excited, I feel like a teenager again!
(but I got a restraining order last time so maybe that isn't a good idea)
...............Enough waffle - hello an all that.
