New guy checking in

Post by Antipodean »

Back to riding after a few years off, planning to do some adventuring. Though taking it slowly as the basic road-only experience I have is rusty and only picked up my new (used) bike yesterday. :) Stumbled upon the ABR magazine by accident a couple of weeks ago - amazed to find there was an UK based adventure riding magazine at all, and even more so to find it wasnt just advertorials.

First bike was a 1980s Honda CB250T (250 4-stroke in a 400 frame = awful) in Australia in the early 90s until I came off, broke my wrist and couldn't ride for ages. My first UK bike in 2008 was intended to be for touring, but a mate who's a Fireblade disciple talked me into getting a 1996 Thundercat instead. Kept that for a few years before selling, getting tired of numb legs and hands, sore back and neck, etc. And now it's time to actually do that touring!

Hello and welcome.
The CB250T was indeed truly awful.
