Hi people,

I came across this site after searching for info, so thought I would join

So about me.

Well I started riding bikes at an early age, mainly trials.

I passed my test in 81 but spent most of the 80s and 90s competing off road in trials and enduros.The bikes were road registered too, but never felt the need at that time to get a road bike.

Got hooked on road bikes in 97 when I bought a new blade.

I'm a bit of a petrol head so have a number of bikes, road, off road, classic and modern.

I have an 08 R1 that I use solo, and a Ducati MTS1200 that we use for touring.

Asside from the R1 I also have an early DT125 that just needs a seat base to be rideable, and a DT250 too that is complete and ready to go.

The DT125 looks more like an AT3, but is a UK bike and has a twin seat (making it tricky to find another seat, been looking for ages)

Looking forward to reading some of the posts on here and joining in too

I have some questions regarding parts for the 125, but will make sure I have a good search first

Hi john, thats a good intro, wheres you from,,,

Greetings John

Welcom on John gear heads unite

Welcome to the forums!

Welcome John, that is by far the best intro I've read.

I think the only bit missing is as Blacky said, is where be you from?

Does my reply meet with your approval Paul?
