Greetings from Leicester, England.

Wesley

Hello everybody,
My name is Wesley I generally answer to most names (both printable and unprintable), but please all feel free to call me Wez. I hail from Leicester England, that's right in the middle of our tiny little island for those who know their geography. I started riding bikes when I was a teenager albeit not legitimately and my weapon of choice in those days was a metallic blue Honda CB250N superdream. As with most people (I guess?) I met a girl, got married, had children and had to buy a car. Well motorcycling sorta disappeared for a good many years. Life took it's many twists and turns and now here I am single again and getting back into bikes again. I should add at this point that I'm now a professional bus driver and have been for quite some time so my licence is precious to me. So I put on my training wheels and did it properly passing the various tests we have to do in the UK and here I am now, the proud owner of a somewhat temperamental FJ1200.

I dont have a decent enough camera to add a pic of my FJ but here's a pic of my training wheels you may find it interesting  :smile:



P.S. A bucket of Electronic popcorn  (popcorn) To anyone who figures out what it really is!!!!

Welcome from cold and damp Norfolk (as in east Anglian not Virginia!) good to have you with us.

Nice to have you here Wesley.  Bit of a jump in weight class and centre of balance.  Be careful the fj is a heavy ol girl!

Don't thinks its really a hardly! Not sure wot it is though.  Looks a bit
Like the 250 Honda I learnt/ did my cbt on, but I can't remember what model it was!

A life has been well lived, if you have planted trees under who's shade you do not expect to sit.

I'm told I'm cynical, pessimistic and generally miserable. I say that I'm realistic! The fact that reality sucks is not my fault!
