Thought i'd best say hello to you all, my name is Jay i'm 33 from hampshire in good old Blighty, currently about to start my life as a student again! to study motorcycle engineering. I currently have an imported 650 on an 81 plate that my brother shipped over from the states, i've ridden it into the ground and am now about to start the cafe racer project with it that i've been itching to do for years! nice to meet you all cheers, Jay.

Hello Jay and welcome. We've lots of smart fellows here. As for me I'm still learning but I do read a lot. What made you decide to go back to school in that field of study?

Hello Jay, Mark from Montreal here. Thought I'ld extend a welcome to you also. Without new members, forums like these can deteriorate and it sounds like you might be a wealth of information, enjoy your studies.
