    Hi there Wessa. I'm 'just down the road' (Bidford). I've just about got a dealership in my lounge room, BUT, none are for sale.

    Congrats on the return to bikes; I did exactly the same last April, after a 15-year absence. Fortunately, I'd lost none of my riding talent:).

    Best wishes for your search. Get in quick before the spring price escalations!!

    Second rule on the forum: It is universally acknowledged that HRC tri-colour is the fastest bike. Keep that in mind while you're looking!:D
