Re: Introductions
Hey there everyone!
I'm a complete noob to moterbikes and only recently passed my CBT. I found a bunch of tankslap cards in the pocket of my second hand jacket so maybe the previous owner is reading this!
I'm a 22year old brummie dude, by trade am usually a chef, waiter or mixologist
(cocktail barman) but I just quit all that to join a NGO
.
Bidding on ebay for some suitable wheels so for now I'm keeping slim on an old school push bike.
Keeping it sweet n short, hope to get to know y'all soon enough.

Re: Introductions
38 year-old dad of 2 wonderful kids (best things I ever did!), separated, with sensitive hair seeks slappers for riding with, ingesting cake and talking cobblers. Used to be a regular on the old forum and Daytona.org (RIP) until the last couple of years. Translator by profession (mainly technical/industrial/automotive gubbins), originally form the Costa del Solihull, living in Manchester area nowadays. Partial to the odd track day when I can afford it (been too long!), my only non-biking-related hobby is geocaching (I use multi-million pound GPS equipment to track down and find Tupperware in the woods, which is difficult to explain to any members of the local Police constabulary who happen to see me, as with the long hair and piercings/ink I look dodgy as anything... The last one to cavity search me didn't even offer to buy dinner
). I keep pet degus and secretly lust after the missus' ZXR 400 as a track bike 


My name is Buff, and I have Carbon Fibrosis.

HI mate, welcome to to new site. It's good to see another familiar name hereDaytonaBuff wrote:They're funny little critters. Thanks for the reply. I'm looking forward to catching up with a few old faces and making some new mates on here.

I love lizards, and I recon my boy would to. Unfortunately Mrs Nutz likes cats, and cats only.. I've learned to tolerate them, even though they are miserable, anti-social balls of fluff that do nothing constructive.
