Hello All!! I just bought my second bike at the age of 60 so I'm learning everthing anew. I'm also a complete computer luddite so apologies in advance for delayed replies as I've had these typing fingers for sixty years and I can't do a thing with them! By the by, are you all Brits here? I think I qualify, as the first time I "rode" a motorbike was sitting on the gastank of my grandfather's BSA in Fermangh,NI in the 1950's. Very fond memories,indeed. I don't quite understand how a group of Brit gearheads can be so witty- I'm constantly laughing at the repartee. All the best, and apologies for my Trimph riding brother in New York!!

Welcome!

What model BSA was it? I've had the pleasure of few miles on older bikes, BSA Bantam, BSA C15, Velocette 250 MAC etc

And I'm proud to say i'm from good old Northern Ireland too! There's a few of us on here.

Merry Xmas!! I have my brother checking old photos to see if I can post them so you can help us identify my Grandad's bike. He was known to ride BSA's, Nortons, etc over the years. I think we have a photo of him sitting on the bike i remember in Maguiresbride in 1956 or so. My current ride, as I understand it, would be called an xvs 250 Dragstar in the UK. I absolutely love it!! All the best, ross
