The start of the blog!!

Right, first things first. The reason I am creating this blog is that I am 41 years old an have gotten back into motorbiking again after leaving bikes out for my wife and beautiful daughters (all my own choice and no regrets!!!)


Don't get me wrong I am not a born again Biker!! I don't want the latest fastest machine I can get. In fact I can think of nothing worse than sitting on a colourful piece of plastic and holding on for dear life as the bike accelerate's to a speed in first gear that I do not want to go to in top!!


I have owned my Kawasaki VN750 since 2007 when I brought it off a very good friend. 
Up until that point I had only owned a couple of bikes when money allowed and 
never got back into wanting to ride for the sake of riding.


Then in 2008 I went to live in Spain and rode over there!! Very cool and a brilliant
 experience!. For the first 3 months there I travelled 75miles each way to work. So
I rode an awful lot. At this point the bike had had enough, the drive shaft 
collar was worn and so were the fins on the drive shaft so that was it, off the road!!


On coming back to the UK in 2010 I had the bike shipped over, put a cover on it and that
was that.


In the Christmas of 2010/2011 another good friend took the bike to his garage and 
sorted problems and gave it a service. All of 2011 I was happy going out when I could.
Most Enjoyable!!
