Hi from a newbie

Joined : 07 Jun 2008 Posts : 14

As i'm the latest member, I thought that I had better introduce myself. My name is Graham (jagrunner) & I ride a tuned Gilera Runner 172. Many of you will have seen me on the Lancs Alliance runs over the past couple of years. I've been riding for 39 years (passed test in 1969!) originally starting on a brand new (one of the last made) SX 200 (wish I still had it!) Over the years i've had all sorts of machines, bikes included. About 3 years ago, a work colleague got me interested in scooters again & I bought an Italian Li 150 Silver Special, which I'm still rebuilding!! In the meantime, I bought a 125 Runner to use for travelling to work. This kind of took over my life & has developed somewhat from the 125 commuter machine it was meant to be! It's great to be back on the scene & I'm really enjoying the ride outs. I know that some people aren't fond of the "plastic" auto's so I'm hedging my bets, with both. I'm hoping that my Lammy will be on the road for next years runs. Nice to meet up with everyone on the "Llangollen" run last week & I shall certainly be riding with you again when work committments allow.

Sorry for the late reply, I'm in Northwich itself, but on the Rudheath side.
I remember the Omega lads starting up, around 1970/71. I still had my SX200 then!

We're going through to the Chester rideout next Sunday, if you fancy it why not come along. At moment we are meeting at the Hanging Gate in Weaverham at 10, then meeting the Winsford lads on the way to Chester.
