Re: Newbie

I am quite central in Cornwall 15-30mins from most main towns. Been on most of those roads but not as much as I want with being busy at work but hopefully more when the weather gets better.
Get to 45 and have my mortgage paid off then maybe not work as much and have more time for riding.

Re: Newbie

Thanks for the replies.

I was 24 then and now 40, my history of bikes is mostly sports bikes as I just love the look o...
