Hello everyone.
My names Paul, I'm 32 and I'm a family man with 7 kids.
Only recently (last year or two) developed an interest in bikes, and currently don't have a license, although my kids have loved bikes since they were born.
I go to Southport and Rivington for days out and to see the bikes that may be there, because of this I fell in love with the Goldwing and decided that was the bike for me once my mid life crisis arrives so that began my quest to find a "learner" bike till then.
Not too long ago I did a favour for someone which resulted in a day with my kids riding a 125 off-road bike, the joy I felt having my first bike ride was great and I was hooked... So much so I bought a small 50cc mini moto for my kids with the aim of me getting my license this summer sadly due to my youngest having medical problems it never happened.
Since the summer plans didn't happen it gave me time to research what bike I wanted, from seeing various bikes I knew I wanted an old Honda and from the 70's... Eventually after a lot of reading I came across the superdream... So here I am.
Ideally I would like a cb400n-b.
Looking forward to being a member here.

Hi Paul, welcome. Bikes are a great interest - you'll love it. I wouldn't dismiss a 250: the extra power & torque of a 400 make it more practical, but my 250 is my favourite bike to ride.

Thanks for the welcome. @fungobat... I wouldn't mind a project just not too big of one, I have mechanical knowledge but would rather fettle with it and get it how I like rather than repairing it. ian I'm not ruling anything out, that's just what I'd prefer... Although it won't be getting much use or doing any long distance, more just a pleasure ride for the kids or the odd Sunday to a bike event so maybe a 250 should be what I'm looking for.

Hello everyone. Ideally I would like a cb400n-b. Looking forward to being a member here. Good choice Paul. The black ones are the forum favorites though. As they are normally faster. But as you are new to motorcycling a slower silver 250cc maybe better. Good to have you here, welcome.
