Hi-De-Hi From Sunny Wales!

Hello!

My name is Rich, living in a little Welsh town called Llanidloes.

Currently have a Ducati 748, a VFR800FI, a Suzuki VanVan, and an M reg. Triumph Speed Triple.

Did 10 years racing MX, then 11 years racing on the shorts circuits, racing 600's, an R1, a Yamaha TZ250 GP bike, and finally a Ducati 620.

Virtual beers on me

Rich . Old racers always get warm welcomes here on the TT . Don’t hold back on the stories . Welcome from Prince Edward Island .

That's great, thank you.
The older I get, the faster I was ....

First bike - 1978. a 1974 XR75.

First race season - 1979.. MX on a Kawasaki KX80B1. Still have the receipt for it. £520, brand new.

Wish I still had them..

Welcome, from Northern California. We love stories...a little exaggerated (?), all the better.

Welcome to TT from Eastern Canada as well.
Good to hear some stories/experiences.
A little embelishment never hurt.

 

[Ace Rich]

Thanks for the welcome!

Me - I love motorcycles!

Riding, racing, tinkering.

My blood group is 10w40..

To race bikes, you have to love it. There is no amount of money that will drive you to it. You get hurt - it's a given.
Then you race again.
It will cost you more money than you have - it's more of an addiction than a hobby.

But you're never more alive than when you're scared to death.

Born in 1968, I'm 53 years old. The profile pic is me - my first race season, in 1978.

I'll post more stuff if people are interested. Happy to answer any questions I can.

Happy Thursday TT peeps!
