Gus K said… - I/we hope you get something from the site and you can contribute with some posts or by adding some pictures or videos (you can add interesting YouTube clips easily). You can join, or create your own, subgroups. Actually, surprisingly, we haven't had a lot of activity in the road riders groups so some action in there would be great.

Welcome again!
Cheers
Angus
