Posted in the main bit but I'll copy it here in case people only look in the U.K. bit.

Originally fromLeeds but lived many places, including Essex where I got high sided on a Z bend in 1996 as the bevel drive on my GV1200 siezed and sent me into brain injuries land! Coma for a while "Not ecpected to live, if he does it'll be wheelchair and nurse for the rest of etc!" Managed to walk a little and am now just using one stick for help. Here I am after moving up to Lancaster. Had over 80 bikes. 1st was a D14/4 bantam in 1970 when I was 8 years ild. Never been without 1 or 4 since then untuil the injuries hit.
I just got A 2005 fz600 and I love it. 13 years since I have been on the road with two wheels but I had my first ride this morning and I was only a little bit nervous! I'll get back to it soon enough I'm sure.
Looking forward to getting to know the good people in Lancashire U.K. and its nearby people.

:welcome: from a Dutchman with a Leeds Heritage (well dual nationality anyway ;))

So you crossed the great divide :D , my brother lives in cheshire now and we visit him on the odd occasion.

Pleased to hear you're getting back into riding, take it easy and don't push yourself, I hope all goes well.

Ride safely and good luck :thumbup:
