Now Then Everybody,

I thought I better introduce myself since I've been a member for nearly a year.

I'm currently the owner of a 2004 Blue 1300 and it's the 3rd Pan i've owned. I have been riding bikes for 20+ years and over that time I've rode and owned quite a few bikes, along with the bikes I've also been an owner of a bike shop back in the UK.

I moved to Newcastle nearly 2 years ago with my partner (who also rides, VFR800 vtec) from the UK. I currently work as an Expeditor/Inspector which means I don't get out as much as I'd like on the bike as I'm to busy flying around the world logging up airmiles

Hopefully though I'll get out a bit more this year as I have the MOTO GP booked so that's a great excuse to use the bike.

Anyway, hopefully will catch up and meet some of you soon

Ride safe and shiny side up

Steve. Aka

Name me a city that isn't better than London :grin
Not very patriotic I know, but it's a dump imho.
Good move Shaagar.

Newcastle (in Oz) was once thought of as a dirty grimy place, but since the steel works closed down the place has been cleaned up quite a lot and recieved some award a couple of years ago for being a good place to live. Would be the city I would choose if I had to move from the country.
