  • May I join you guys for a ride?

    Hi Guys!

    I'm a newbie with XBhp and was wondering if you guys had an age-cap on joining up for a ride sometimes??

    I'm a slightly over-the-hill 40 yr old and definitely don't have the stamina or physical strength of you younger guys - marriage, kids and a career have all conspired to keep me off a bike for 15 years - but I do love biking, and I've been back in the saddle for the last six months (whenever I get some free time).

    I haven't really done any long distance rides (well not for the last 15 years anyway) and am not really sure that my ancient back can take the strain - but I'd like to give it a go!

    So if you chaps feel that you wouldn't mind putting up with an old bandicoot and have the patience to share your knowledge with an old fart, please do let me know! Thanks!

            Right Ram, but the point is I need to work; I'm not sending the motorcycle to garage at the mercy of mechanic. Now that's what you call a real home built motorcycle
