    I'll Introduce myself........

    Hello, I'm new here so I thought I'd better introduce myself. I got tipped off about this site last night when I bumped into a member on here "Godders". We used to ride in a club together in the late 90's. It's great to see a site like this, although I do feel a bit of a sham as I'm down...
