Morning all,
Hello from a new member! My name is Dave and I'm based near Canterbury. I've just joined the forum as I have recently developed a bit of a hankering for a Suzuki triple. The first 'big' bike I ever went on when I was 16 and riding a fizzy was the back of my big brothers mates GT380 in about 1978 which was one of the later models in red and looked beautiful. He took me out down the local bypass and stupidly I hadn't done my helmet strap up and with no visor and him caning I,t I had to hold onto the rear grab rail with one hand and my helmet chin guard with the other to stop it lifting off my head! The digital gear indicator was a real marvel at the time and I guess ever since I've had an affection for them.
Now in my mid 50's with a bit of disposable income, I'm thinking of taking the plunge and buying one (as is my brother!) - hence I came across this forum and thought it would be a good idea to find out a bit more about them first. The forum looks like a real good resource and looking forward to spending some time here and maybe even taking the plunge - thanks.
