New Member, intro.

[David Phipps]

Hello to all you members. I've just signed into this site. I live in the Lovely city of Swansea, South Wales, in the UK. I don't own a bike @ the moment as my previous bike, a Honda VFR1200F was stolen three weeks ago. It hasn't been recovered. I'm planning to buy a Yamaha MT 09 Tracer nearer to the Summer time, as it's coming Winter soon. I'm so impressed with the Tracer 900 I don't know why I've never looked at one before! l'm a mature rider, in fact I'm 63. You could say I'm a returning rider as I only started riding again a year and a half ago. So, bring on the Summer.

Welcome David,

 Start keeping an eye out for discount bikes and pounce when you see one. It'll keep til next spring.

 Some fantastic biking to be had in Wales.  👍

Hi Dodgy Knees, thanks for the advice. Guess what? I've put a deposit on an immaculate 2016 Tracer, used, one lady owner, low milage and my kind of colour, Red.

Great news @David Phipps and welcome to the forum. I tend to prowl around North Wales as it’s close to home but occasionally get down through the Wye Valley on the way to my brother’s place.
