Hi All!

Ive just joined the forum, having read classic bike for a few months while looking for some new wheels.

I had a NC30 a few years back, thats probably classed as classic now, which i loved and sold a year or so ago.  I hadnt ridden it for a number of years, and had stripped it down to rebuild but struggled with time and money.

For the past two years ive really missed being on 2 wheels, and just last week i acquired a 1970 BSA Bantam.  My first proper classic bike, and my first two smoke.

I'll get some pics up here soon, in the meantime i'm gonna have a little look around this place ....

:)

Hello! Watch out as once you start reading this forum it's very hard to stop, I've started checking it on my phone in dull meetings.

Oh don't be silly Sam it's quite easy to stop. Errrr as long as you keep attending appointmenmts with your psychiatrist, taking the tablets and keep attending the basket weaving classes. One sure way of stopping is to just read FB's and jess's postings and not read any others. One week of doing that and you'd volounteer to be water boarded at Guantanamo Bay.

:D Welcome Keefey by the way.

Hehe - I think I'm safe and then I go into the workshop just to 'check something' and I have a relapse.

Nice Bantam.

Welcome to the Funny Farm.

There used to be a pub in Arlesey called "The Star" if my memory serves.
