Hi all my names Steve :),   I'm a newbie so thought I'd introduce myself   I'm 45 years old and passed my bike test and Advanced Driving test in 1990.    Over the years I've had a few bikes, but currently ride a 2012 Triumph Daytona 675R SuperSports race bike in Crystal White and a 2012 Honda VFR1200F in Darkness Black.   [IMG]http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w215/Spoons_photos/IMG_8882.jpg[/IMG]   [IMG]http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w215/Spoons_photos/IMG_8870.jpg[/IMG]   I run a small IT business from home which provides enough income for my home, cars and motorcycles.  However, sometimes it drives me mad living and working in the same place day in, day out, so riding bikes in all weathers keeps me happy.   I also ride with RoSPA and I'm training to be an Instructor at some point.   I play the guitar occassionally, dont sing (dont even go there lol), like most types of music, walking, mountain biking, socialising, chatting and being around kind people with good attitudes to life.   I sometimes get over enthusiastic about things, especially if I'm targetting a new bike lol... just tell me to shut up if I go on too much lol.   Anyways nice to meet you and I'll try and be more active now that I've joined here Steve :)                                                                                                                                                                             

Its quite hard to talk about yourself and not appear manic in some way, but you'll get to know me over time anyways.   My main passion in life is my family, home, cars and bikes.  My business is enjoyable but I've spent the past 25 years doing it and its not my passion anymore.  Which is a shame really, just trying to find that spark again to set me off on a mission with it.   Love my bikes, love british summertime and love the feeling of mixing the two with good company.  There really isnt much better in life for me.                                                                                                                                                                             

Well, let's hope we will get some summer at some stage and soon. Snowing very heavy here and that certainly is no weather for bikes. I am sure you will enjoy the group, just remember... you get out of it as much as you put in..works for me. Great people all over the country to meet, ride and hang out with, I am sure....

  I've not had any photo bucket links before so let's see if they work   http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w215/Spoons_photos/I...G_8882.jpg   http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w215/Spoons_photos/I...G_8870.jpg   Obviously if the pics are removed from the photo bucket location the links won't work                                                                                                                                                                             

Nope, those links dont work.  I copied them across and know the links are normally sucessful?                                                                                                                                                                             

  The links worked when I posted them and the first link works now,  but the second link tells me the photo has been removed. That's one of the reasons Matt doesn't like photobucket links.   It's probably best to upload your pics to your Biker Match profile.                                                                                                                                                                             

Yep, already uploaded them to my profile pictures. I wont use Photobucket again in these Forums as the system doesnt seem happy with them.  No probs.   I'm new and still learning lol
