Read my post -didn't give much introduction, so here it is. I'm a seasoned rider - haha - 72. And love my bikes as much as I did at 17. Bikes have been mostly British: 1959 Triumph 650 Thunderbird; 1952 Matchless 500 cc thumper; 1963 Triumph tr6; 2009 RE 500 Bullet; 1975 XL175 Honda; 1981 C70. I carry my bike on my catamaran sailboat and my motorhome and we ride the dirt, sand and off road. I like tinkering and would never take a bike to a shop. That's about it in a nutshell. Love life, love to ride..,
