Riding again after 44 year break

1 of 1

Regarding your campaign for new bikers. O’m a bit late now for entering, but I have just taken up riding again after 44 year break.

I passed my test at 16 on a lambretta scooter and swapped it for an m21 600cc bsa, later I traded for a 500cc triumph speedtwin.

I stopped riding when my wife and I had an accident, and moved on to a car, but you never forget the thrill of a bike.

Febuary this year I bought a yamaha virago 535 from a scrap yard, it was in working order with low mileage but needed a bit of tlc.I am now a sunday fair weather rider in his sixties reliving his youth, but now not as fast just taking it easy.

Good luck with your campaign. Peter
