Current ride: XB9R Firebolt
Location: N Wales
Having recently retired I decided it was time to get back on a bike after a number of years "commuting" and gallivanting on 4 wheels.

I spotted an XB9R Firebolt for sale locally and bought it earlier this month, in running order but had been standing for a couple of years. I've put on a new front tyre and flushed out the oil (fair bit of moisture in there!) and booked MOT for next week.
