laverda Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Hello, I'm not exactly a new forum member but I haven't exactly been active so I thought I'd introduce myself. I live in Scotland. I have an XJ900F (Amongst many other bikes.) which I will be using again soon when my son nicks my K1100LT off me when his two years on his 350 are up. I'm a year round biker,(have been for thirty odd years.) & I am a qualified motorcycle mechanic, though tbh I ain't worked on any proper modern bikes, & I don't work in the bike industry. Bikes of the 70s.80s & even 90s are my thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slice Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Welcome to the YOC, I always thought that the "JOTA" was only for those who had a death wish, lots of speed and brakes made from old fag packets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laverda Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 Thanks for the welcome, TBH I'm not really a Jota fan I have a 1200 Mirage (a 180, that sounds & feels like nothing else.) & I ain't had an off since the late 80s (sheet ice in Vulcan Village.) & I'm a year round biker so not bad. Originally I'm from St.Helens but I now live in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
