Hi mate - welcome.
[/size]Similar to  yourself I'm back after a 19 year break. Had bikes most of my life up to then, mostly old British ones. Then rising costs forced me off the road. Bought a FZ6 off my brother in law a few weeks ago & really enjoying it. Have found  people very friendly on this site and  had several questions answered without delay. Best wishes.
