Welcome to the ride and to the forum. The UK is well represented on this site. And if one digs deep enough into one's heritage, one might find a distant cousin or two stateside. Cheerio! 
Its more fun to be ridin'! I'm still ridin

No theres not you aint North until you have at least passed Gretna  we may be few in number up here where men are men and sheep nervous but we do exist.
Any way welcome to the mad house prepare to be amazed dazzled and totally gob smacked by the crowd in here. If it ca be shaped bent manufactured purchased or even invented somebody in here will be able to tell you the best way.

Friendly bunch, you lot. Thanks for the welcome, feel 't ome already.
Now what you mean about bikers up north compared to down south, altho I'm orginally from up north.
My bike is apparantly being built in May, as all production has gone to the new Street Triple, Twins are having a production run in May and mine is (hopefully on that list).
And yes its killing me already, just like waiting for my 17th birthday all over again, the first ride on your brand new 250!
