Hello fellow riders
« on: April 14, 2017, 12:13:33 AM »
Hi guys, just a quick introduction from me. My name is Roger; I am normally called Pirate. Had the nickname for a million years. I have until recently been riding a Kawasaki GTR 1000, but I am getting old and it is too tall in the seat and not maneuverable enough for me. So I recently purchased an 08 ST1300 ex police bike which I am very happy with. I have been riding bikes for about 50 years. I have previously had a Fireblade and a bandit. Looking forward to some rides and getting to know some of you guys from Perth  - I live in the York area - anyone coming up for the York motorbike show???

Hi guys, thank you for the welcome it is so nice for riders to know there are other who share the same passion and have the same style of bike. I look forward to meeting up with you as and when I can get on rides around our great state.
Yorky if you want to get in touch please do - or maybe I already know you but not by that nickname??
Stay well and stay strong. Pirate.

Welcome aboard either way.   :beer
