So, after a rather nasty non-bike-related injury in the summer of 2012 - the time has finally come for me to get back on the horse (…or bike even). Expect another thread shortly asking for recommendations/help/pointers!
How are we all - what’s new (apart from the forum/my not knowing how to embed a picture of Dr Nick :) ) - what have I missed?
Heartening to see so many familiar usernames still kicking about - I hope all is well!
Hi Mr C. You back on two wheels then :-) What you thinking of riding? Still on the 125s?

Hi Nick,
Nah mate - the YBR went years ago - loved that little thing!
I’ve got a Hornet sat down in my underground carpark looking very sorry for itself … having not moved for a few years, it is more than a little dusty!
(Part of the reason why I’ve rejoined LB is to look for a couple of recommendations for somewhere to take it/someone who might be able to come and pick it up and give it the once over - but that’s another thread for when I’m not quite so busy with work)
What are you riding now? Assume you’ve not been tempted back to NG?
Am on a Z1000sx. Love it. Finished in Nigeria 2 years ago, so yeah, I was tempted back for a final time. Also did a stint in Malawi, which is possibly the most boring country in the world, after Belgium.
To get your Hornet checked over, cleaned up, I’d defo recommend Matt at Omc. Not sure about transport though…it’s a self service centre, but Matt holds yer hand.
CT - I do hope you’ve not jumped over any hedges since the last one
I’ve finally had time to post my “HELP” thread over here if anyone has any ideas for either mechanics/garages or things that might need attention (although I do realise this is very much a “how long is a piece of string” question) … I’m just trying to get my head around how much of a big job this is going to be/any indication at all of how much of my hard earned £££ I should expect to be parting with
