    Hi guys,

    Back in Canberra after a few years away. First week back I bought a helmet. Then the stay upright course, and the next day I bought myself a Honda VTR250. It's my latest hobby and is great fun. In my late 30s so my new workmates in Canberra think it's a mid-life crisis, but it's the most fun crisis I have ever had if it is.

    Looking forward to some group rides to get to know some other bike riders, and get some tips before I go for my Ps.

    Cheers,

    Alex

    Thanks very much for the invite. I don't think I can make it, but I will definitely be keen for any rides after this Wed. Still have a couple of weeks off on leave thanks to the great public service, so keen for as many rides in Jan as I can get.

    G'day and :welcome!: Alex, I feel it only fair that I update you on life a bit;


    50 is the new 40 SO
    40 is the new 30 and as you are in your late 30's that means you are really in your 20's and that means not that long ago it was your 21st and that is a top time to be riding your bike so tell those people at work to Wise Up!



    PS. happy 21st for a few weeks ago.
