Default Re: When did the biking bug bite you? Post a photo if you can find one.

No exciting pics either I'm afraid and, like Stenno, quite recent. One of the directors at work had bought a newish Royal Enfield and proceeded to retro it. Then a Triumph 3TA "Bathtub" to restore, then the father-in-law/boss dug out an old Scott Squirrel he'd had for years and bought a couple of old Greeves scramblers, then an old Velocette arrived and I started thinking, "I've always liked the idea of bikes but never quite done anything about it." Wifey had briefly learned, DAS'd and crashed when we first knew each other and the bug was still there, so when I tentatively asked if I could have a CBT for my 40th birthday, she jumped at the chance to get me on a bike and herself back into it. Loved it, bought a boy racer 125 (NSR125 - cracking little bike) and couldn't get enough. Lessons, big bike lessons, big bike test and apart from crashing on my first Mod 1, I loved every minute. SV is my first big bike and I'm still loving it.
