Wrinkly rider Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Hello everyone, Just joined the club to see what goes on with a view to become a full member and thought I would introduce myself. Got my first bike at 17 in 1968, Yamaha C90 and over the years had many yamaha's including 2 fjr1300's, a Diversion 600 and 3 Tracers with the 9GT being the bike I'm now on two and a half years old with almost 18000 miles on it.I also have a Triumph bonneville t100(sorry if that's swearing on this forum) I joined the IAM when I reached 68 years old to see if I was still capable to ride and still riding at 72 so must be doing something right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Snakebite68 Posted March 1 Moderator Share Posted March 1 Hihi, welcome in! Being a full member is mainly the ability to chat in the extra members only section and getting a discount on your Bikesure insurance... But, considering the low, low price, why the hell not? rofl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE0 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Welcome there Wrinkly. Nice to have a new member who introduces himself, the forums a lot quieter these days, but there are a few core members who visit relatively regularly, but its not a patch on what it was ten years ago! Don't be surprised that many days/weeks can go by before seeing a new post though. There's no concern about ownership of other bikes, nobody will comment. I'm 10 years behind you and hopefully won't catch you up too quickly!! Once again, welcome in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Snakebite68 Posted March 2 Moderator Share Posted March 2 Yeah, don't worry about other bikes, we're not elitist, just look at my profile on the left lol. I've been riding since I was about 10 (1978ish) on a Yamaha TY80 on the beach... And as it says, nothing legal from then till my Thunderace about 5ish years ago! I'd like one of those t100s. What colour is yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrinkly rider Posted March 2 Author Share Posted March 2 Hi and thanks for the warm welcome. I have a 2018 in blue and love riding round the Peak district in the summer on it. Photo worked so here's my Tracer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
