Newbie alert

Here you can post a picture of you and your bike. Also where you are located and if you are prepared to give local kettle owners some of your time and experience.Please don't do discussions here just some facts about yourself. This was Glens idea! Thanks BAZ

Newbie alert

Post by HootOwl »

Hi all
I am a newbie, but most definitely not to bikes.
I have a couple of bikes in the garage at present, no kettle yet, but I am on the hunt. I actually have a specific bike in mind I want - a GT750B. Yeah, I know there are not lots about..that's why I want one.
I do have a Ducati Multistrada and a modded Z650C at the mo, so not desperate really. I can sit, look and wait until I find what I want ...and at a price that is fair of course. I am aware of what some ask for, what they actually sell for, and what I am prepared to pay that is fair to both parties ;)
I have worked in the bike game since the late 70's. There is not much worth having or riding from the golden years that I haven't either had or ridden...I have done the other 2T triples (Suzuki's and most of the Kawasaki's) but the 750B being one that stands out It is an itch I would like to scratch. :)
I am from Gods own country of South Yorkshire :)
