Saying "Hello" from Derbyshire

Post by BoyFromCoalville »

Morning all,

New to the forum, however I did take a peak some years ago.

Had a my Firestorm for nearly four years but for various reasons only managed a few hundred miles on her. I am now hoping to get back into riding and tinkering with the bike.

Looks like I’ll be spending some time reading the 'Bike Maintenance and Upgrades/Modifications’ and other useful links.

I know I need to get some new tyres and the suspension could do with a freshen up, might be asking for best advice on rear shocks. I’d like to move to a high level exhaust too considering that the lefthand can already has some damage.

Anyway hope to be around for sometime, asking and contributing where I can.

Cheers

Raised in Leicestershire with Coalville the largest nearby town. Happy that Derbyshire accepted me. Lived in both South and North Derbyshire. Currently just north of Derby itself in a lovely village on the A6. Get to enjoy some great roads and countryside.

Thank you all for the welcome here too :D
