Default Newbie (Sam Vimes)

Ayup, just joined thought I would say hi..

Just bought a Gladius, a bit bent and going to rebuild it. A few bent bits and a bit tatty. I bought it for wifey, but she's yet to pass her test. The riding school use Gladius's's's's so she should be comfortable on it.

She might even get to ride it one day. depends how much fun I get out of it.

I ride a Triumph but used to ride a GS500 for the last 9 years, and my grass roots bikes were all Suzuki's AP100, GT370 et'c. You can probably tell my age from past bikes,,

Any way HI. (Oh and I live in Newbury)

Cheers guys, Yes I am afraid I am a confirmed Triumph rider. This is my second first an ST and now a GT sprint.


I think 'Gladys' is a 2009 but on an '11 plate, I could be wrong as I am judging this from the weird pearlescent white and Cerise colour scheme.


Anyway I'll beggar off and have a wander, see what nutters frequent this site, what useful bits I can find and start nagging people for odd bits to put the shine back on 'Gladys'
