Hi all.....

Post by akbunny59 »

Hi everyone.
My name is Mark, I am in my mid 60's. I live in South Wales.
I have owned a Burgman 650 since last July, and I love it.
I had to move away from manual gearbox bikes owing to a deformity in my left hand. I am waiting for surgery on my hand, but given the state the NHS is in, I guess I'll be in my 80's by the time I get it.
No regrets getting the Burgman at all. I plan doing as much of the maintenance that I can, myself. I replaced the rear shocks yesterday and am paying the price today... :lol: , everything aches after spending most of the afternoon on the garage floor.
Next job is to replace the front fork oil, maybe not today though....!
Stay safe everyone..... ;)

You're in good company on here, there's a good many who have moved from " proper" bikes to twist and go, some due to various problems riding manual bikes.

Welcome to the forum Mark :D
