Just spotted this. Names Tom and I live in South Wales near Pontypool. Originally from Lincolnshire and still go back pretty often. Been riding since I was 17 (11 years now, crikey) on road, and a few on fields before that! Always wanted a Speed Triple and bought one in a bit of a state last year. She's going through the third set of improvements as we speak! I ride all year round and also have a ratty 88 GPZ500, a flat track 79 SR500, a partly built TR1, a '97 firestorm that I bought on a whim four weeks ago (1500miles so far

) and a little 84 CBX125F (yeah try and find another in the UK...) that I'm fixing up for my girlfriend.
I was the UK's youngest ever fully qualified bike instructor at 21, but it ruined riding for me. I'm not a RAT member as I don't know how to be/not sure anyone would want my nasty triple near their newer bikes

Hope to see some of you around.
