Smile So I'm back on my bike :)

For those of you who knew me on my old account (lylej)
You might remember I had an Sv650k5 and upped to a Triumph Daytona 675.

After a few major offs on both bikes I decided to wrap up my riding and stuffed my 675 in the garage for almost 5 year, and the rider bug lay dormant as I decided if I would ride again, or just on the track or what, I didn't know..

Then bam! For no reason really the bug bit again, and the Bikes back, fixed and I feel like I was never off of it..albeit a bit more tender with the throttle these days.

Knew there was something missing now I've found it again.

I've dipped in and out-of the Org over the last couple of years, but I can't really say I know much about what's going on and who the movers and shakers are lol

The Org was awesome back in the lylej account days I'm looking forward to returning as an active member and such

So hi everyone, I'm back

Lylej, rings a bell. How come you changed name/lost history?

Nice Daytona. Those mirrors turned in ready for a TD?

love for biking never leaves you, yes you may take a sabbatical but it will always be there waiting to break out. for various reasons i gave up for 20 years until i had a go on a 1996 ducati 750ss and that was me hooked again. jumped on, first gear and off i went. was like i had never been off them. heart pounding, adrenaline flowing, focus and speed. simply superb

welcome back to the fold

I concur. I sold my last bike in August 1981. Bought my current ride just two months ago. I knew something was missing in my life and finally, after decades, figured it out. I guess life and other priorities got in the way. Now, back in the saddle doing the twisty's, it seems I never left. And the Universe is balanced.
