Unless im missing something and ive looked i can't find an introduction section on the forum so here comes mine Ive been threatening to get another road bike for a few years after greenlaning and Hare and Hound racing a couple of injuries called time on that so the search began looked at a few 80s interesting bikes that i allways wanted but never had gt750 kettle CB900 Z900 something to ride that was fairly heavy reason for Heavy was if I got another LC Id turn 18 and wheelie it everywhere like i did in my miss spent youth !!! had several LCs and a YPVS many many years ago and thought id grown up !! So Much for that plan Bought a YPVS hybrid as a project /unfinished bike didn't appear to need a great deal so it was soon MOTd and on the road then what happens ? it puts the biggest smile on my face i can remember having for a long time and I can't get out of my street without a wheelie and the sound of the Allspeed pipes on song so now Im a 54yr old hooligan and what a feeling the buzz from a 36 yr old smoker !!! anyway Im looking forward to further mods after all mine is a complete Bitsa Italian frame Spanish Engine Aprillia RS250 front end with unknown Honda wheel kawasaki KR1S rear with what I believe to be a Cagiva Mito rear wheel so the plan is Wire Spoke wheels and Marlboro paint as much as I worship the skills of our Lord Roberts Ive had enough Kenny Rep to last a lifetime so here's to the future of one wheels enough !!!

You are right John there’s no newbie section Most use the lc/ypvs top section that gets read most Anyhow enjoy the forum it’s very addictive
Norbo who runs this forum also has an online shop that is full of goodies I’ll put a link up

Welcome to the forum John. Most of us on here have also found that wide grin which only comes with riding a screaming 2 stroke from our youth. Some on here have been grinning continuously since the 80s 😁 Lots of good stuff going on here and plenty of help to keep your new found youth going. Oh beware of Norbo’s shop. You will get lost in there and come out the other side laden with goodies that you didn’t know you actually “needed” 😉 Hurry up and get the pics going! John

Welcome john, lots of 18 year Olds on here, lucky no one asks for proof tho, very addictive things these, lots of info freely given, this is by far the best forum I frequent, and luckily its busy enough to visit many times a day and always something to read, not many bike forums like it. And Norbo's sweet shop of goodies, and a nice bloke too...... you can't go wrong.

Welcome in John and hellooo from the States!
I'm on the 34th anniversary of my 18th birthday this time around.
Growing old carn't be helped, but thankfully growing up is optional.
