G'day from a new member.
I was born in New Zealand where I first rode motorbikes about 50 years ago, but have spent the last 39 years in the USA. I'm now located in the beautiful Texas Hill Country NW of Austin with great rides outside my door.
My new bike is a 2017 Honda CRF250L, but my pride and joy is a 1935 Velocette MAC. That's a British bike that my Dad purchased in New Zealand around 1940. He fully restored the bike around 1990, and I inherited it a couple of years ago and shipped it to Texas. It's not running right now, it needs a little more restoration, but that is one of my retirement hobbies.
In the meantime, I'm relearning how to ride on the roads around here and the dirt track in my backyard.
Here's a couple of pictures:
