Title: Hi all
Post by: lloydjames on Thursday, 25 January 2018, 07:04 AM
Hello all,

New to the forum so thought I'd introduce myself. I've had my K2 for a couple of years now. Bought it as a restoration project and rode it for 6 months before beginning the strip. Hoping it will be on the road in time for the Summer after extensive work (I'll post pictures when complete). Owned super-sports bikes for most of my 22 years riding and wanted something I can enjoy without having to do treble figures  :devil: and have to say I love it. Easily the most I've enjoyed riding on the road in almost a decade. Anyway, I'm enjoying getting involved with the forum  :hat:

I like to think of it as more of a costume lately... makes me feel better about working with clowns and fools  :grin:

Know what you mean, been there and done that, got the pension.  Unfortunately most of the clowns and fools wear a bar code  :whistling:
