Having joined the Nightriders, deciding on a bike to go along need some careful thinking;

-price
-portability

A rekindled passion


I used to cycle to school daily.A 3 mile journey with friends.Finishing school and graduating I left my cycling and bought a car.
That was in 1979.Thirty years later being seconded to Iskandar Regional Development Authority and based away from family, opportunity knocks to renewing my former passion.
