Hi all! Just registered yesterday. New to forums too so forgive me for doing stupid stuff. (Like replying to a 15 year old thread, doh!!)
I live in Northern Ireland, I consider myself an oldie even though I'm only 57. I only have one bike and it's a CBR - 929rr. My previous bike was a CBR 600 fm.
I've had other bikes since I was 16 so on and off I've always been with a bike of some description.
I'm still working and I'm employed as a coachpainter/vehicle sprayer.
I'm assuming most of the members are Stateside but if I'm being too presumptuous, sorry!
I look forward to reading and contributing to posts.
Iany🤘

Welcome Iany, we are not Old... just wearing out a little
My Daughter is currently at Queens in Belfast, small world.
We do actually have a lot of UK / EUR based bikers on the forum even though it is run out of the US and a huge amount of experience available.
Where are the pictures!!
Cheers
Al

Welcome to the forum and don't worry about reviving the dead thread! It's amusing to see how far back people will go!

I think most of us are in the states but there is definitely a healthy UK contingent representing!

And, as Al1040 asked, where the pics?

Hi Al1040
Race School was brilliant. Unfortunately, Ron & Ann have retired it. Rumour has it that they might try to run something along the same lines but they won't have the Honda backing.
Personally, I had a bit of a scare at McLean's but having ridden the track it has given me a greater appreciation for the talented riders who do actually "race" there.
If it does start up again, I'll be there!!

Hi Duffman.
I won't say I know Kilkeel well but I have visited on a few occasions. Some great roads around there, especially towards Warrenpoint 🙂. How long have you had your f4? What do you think of it?
