new owner, new visitor

Post by grinner1969 »

Evening all, I would like to introduce myself. My name is John, among other things, my friends call me Grinner :D or John-boy, I have just turned 45 yrs old, am married with no kids, just a ratdog called Jazmin. Reasons for me to be on here with you guys. Having changed from an early Blade (selfish apparently :Ball Kick: ) after a year to a GSX14 for 5 yrs I had to let her go due a back injury (not my back, hers, now that's selfish :silent: lol), I have had to get some money together but refused to be bikeless, so bought myself a VTR! Great move me thinks! I shall go into more detail later.
So go get yourself a pint at the "INN" (no shorts though, I can't afford it) :beer:

Well done on doing your research first. :clap: Welcome to the forum :beer: So from you first post I'm guessing you will be doing some touring with pillion onboard. You may be a contender for raised bars.
