Hi

I steamed straight in with a question and never introduced myself. Thanks for the feedback on the tyres btw.

So I used to ride up until 12 years ago when I had a big off in the Isle of Wight. Used to be a bit of a scooter boy and folded my Vespa P200 into the drivers door of a VW Passat - his fault - and between that and moving around for work, I never got back on.

Roll on the years and I'm finally back on two wheels again and loving it. Managed to pick up a 2003 125 Dragstar with 4500 miles on it for £1100 so was made up. Had her imported from Northern Ireland by a guy called Phil from Acceleration. If you ever need a bike shipped, this guy is spot on, I'll forward his details.

Looking to move up to a 650 or bigger in the future but want to get a year or so of riding back under my belt to iron out any old bad habits and the 125 does all I need. Will probably keep her regardless.

I'm also a drummer and have toured UK and Europe over the years, you can find some recent noises here:

Looking forward to posting further inquiries which are probably simple but I'm a shit mechanic, thanks for checking in.

Cheers

Dom
