  10. Welcome to the Friendliest Forum on the net . Glad you survived the contact with the vehicle , when ever a motorcycle and another vehicle make contact its never just a bump . There are a number of other members here who lovingly restore both motorcycles and bicycles We have a separate parking area for them , so please use the bike shed lest the large and less forgiving vehicles flatten it. As a new member you will have a series of chores assigned to you , once those are done you may be invited in to the club house pub/bar for a chance to buy all those before you a pint . Welcome and enjoy. Oh yes plase post a pic or snap or your pride and joy when you can We all like to look at each others Vehicles.
