Hello everyone 
)
I've just joined the forum and I'm hopefully collecting my ZXR400 next weekend (long drive down to Derby and back with a lowloader!) This is the latest in a long line of bikes for me; sadly had to sell a couple to get it (gf thinks I have too many toys and not enough space, time or cash!) so the GS500 and the Honda H100S had to go. Still managed to keep the other three project bikes though that are simultaneous restoration jobs: a Honda CB650 Nighthawk, a Sprite 250cc trials bike and a Cotton 197cc trials bike. The ZXR was the result of a chance conversation in the staffroom at work with our IT technician who had a mate who needed garage space, and the deal was done!
My other toys are a brewery (hence the user name!) and a boat, and I'm planning on using the bike to ride to Kielder Reservoir where I sail - some excellent riding to be had round the kielder forest!
Looking forward to getting to know everyone a bit better soon on here, maybe meet up sometime in Helmsley or Squires Cafe (both local haunts for me!)
Cheers
