Another one growing old disgracefully.

Post by Beemer438 »

Good Morrow, Gang, and please allow me to introduce myself. I am George from the UK.
Been riding since 1958, most things from a 50cc banshee, then a couple of scooters, then mostly flat twin BMW's with the odd Norton, BSA or Royal Enfield thrown in for good measure. With the BMW's I started in 1961 with a 1951 R/51 and a series of the things until a 1971 R60/5 which I sold two years ago after owning it for about 15 years. Now have a 600 Honda Revere. About 35 miles from here is an undertaker who runs a motorcycle hearse, the sidecar being a specially built thing to carry the largest coffins, and I have done a few funerals for him. Different, and good for my street cred!

Best wishes to all, ride safe and show the kids how to ride cool! 8-)

George, Glad you have joined in with us. I have had a few email exchanges with Cathy and she also told of her bikes. I believe one being a Revere. Not a model that is sold in the U.S. or at least not by that name.

I certainly hope that the Romeo forum helps you and your fellow riders further your riding experience. Nothing much better that sharing a meal and a story of "back when" with a friend.

Most of the Romeo Riders here are kids in their sixties, some in their seventies and a few in their eighties. Nothing like a good ride to help keep you young.
