New Member Bribane
« on: January 24, 2013, 07:31:29 PM »
Hi every one i am a newbie, i ride a 2002 ex police bike which i have had for 6 years and it has only done 79000 km. I am 51 and have been riding
bikes for 40 years and i have to say this would be the best bike i have had. Some of the bikes i have owned over the years are a Katana 1100, BMW 75/6, Suzuki GS450, AND a XT 500,  I work for John Sands a greeting card company and i have worked there for 20 years. I look forward to meeting some of you and talking on some of the forums.

Shane.

Good to see a Bribane rider joining up.  You'll be kicking yourself for not linking up sooner when you read about last weekend's RTE.
Still, there's Middleton coming up in March, so you can start planning now.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
