New kid on the block at 43?

Post by vassilis67 »

It's never too late to have a raptor...mine is a 650 ie and it is with me for a year already...first V2,first european after a long list of japanese bikes - oops i forgot my Gasgas - and to tell you the truth i feel very pleased with my choice. The bike is really nice, easy to handle, nimble on a twisty road and very stable on the highway.....but what am i talking about? You must know all that better than me...Anyway, now it is resting between my Gasgas and my beloved RD 350.


By the way, am i the first Greek in here?
It's all greek to me....

43? Barely out of puberty! I bought my first Raptor (and my first bike for 16 years) in January, and I'm 54.

Anyway howdy, and I'll have a bourbon on the rocks please. :)
