Hi everyone
I've dreamed about getting back on two wheels for years now, ever since my BMW R80 died a death back in 1990. Tomorrow I pick up my 'new' bike ... starting small until I get back into the routine again, on a Yamaha SR250. Very excited but also s--t scared at the same time. Would love to meet up with other bikers in the Yorkshire area, if you'll have me!

 Hi and :welcome: to the forums Lorain.

 Fear is a good thing on a bike if you ask me, stops complacency and there are too man crazy car drivers around for that!

 Your confidence will soon come back :) .

Vez.

Hi Lorain, welcome to the forum. Good to hear your getting back on two wheels, you chose a nice light and low bike to get back into it. Lets hope the weather doesnt spoil the experience this year. Yorkshire area ? That'll be somewhere between sheffield and scarborough then :lol:
