Hi , I last owned and rode a Suzuki GT380 in 1976 aged18, apart from hiring a scooter on holidays , I haven’t ridden a motorcycle for over 40 years , a few weeks ago I took the plunge and bought a new Royal Enfield Himalayan , I haven’t stopped grinning ever since , I’ve done close to 500 miles on her now and have just taken delivery of a set of panniers and crash bars , my plan is to tour Wales and Ireland this Summer and perhaps venture further after that.
Since it’s been several decades since my last bike riding adventure things have certainly changed a lot ,as have I of course so it’s a learning curve for me as I get used to my new bike and learn more about what’s going on in the biking world , next step is to find some biking mates to join up with for rides, anyone around Newtown or Welshpool area in Powys ? With similar interests ? Bearing in mind my Himalayan has a top speed of about 70mph , so I can’t keep pace with the racers.
