Hi Everybody just signed up for your forum yesterday and thought i'd introduce myself.
My name is John and iv'e been riding bikes for as long as i can remember if i can recall i'm sure i originally passed my bike test in Germany when my father was stationed out there in the RAF.
I live in Doncaster and work at DSA Robin hood airport since it opened. I have a varied collection of bikes but mostly Suzuki 2 strokes as i love the smell , it reminds me of better times.
My first bike at the tender age of 15 was a Benelli 50cc then a kreidler RS50 which was a German bike. Then in the UK as a 17 year old i worked at our local bike shop Cusworths as a mechanic which allowed me to test many different types of bikes.
My favorite bikes back then were RD350 air cooled machines i just loved them but always wanted a GT380 or a 550 but never had one until now. I've put a few photos of my suzukis which i ride on a regular basis, hope you like them.
I hope to have lots of banter on here and if i can help anyone out that would be a bonus.
Look forward to speaking to you guys on this forum.
Cheers,
John.
