laverda Posted November 4, 2011 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.

slice Posted November 5, 2011 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.
laverda Posted November 6, 2011 Author 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.
