Welcome back to the two wheeled world!  I'm curious, did gas prices influence your decision?

I'm trying to think of what might have changed in 28 years.  Are people less attentive?  It seems that way to me but I can't really prove it.  Oh:  the stupid cities are all bigger and have more traffic.  I avoid them.

Have fun but ride safe!

I'd like to add my own "welcome" back to the wonderful world of motorcycle riding!  You sure picked a fine bike to get back into it with a R65LS, too!  Post a pic of your ride when you can.  Several LS owners inhabit this forum, so if you have any questions or problems, I'm sure someone can help!
Enjoy that LS!  ;)

   No the petrol prices did not make me came back I needed a fresh interest
     the old one's where geting stale and to close to the same as work

    Things that have changed, the last riding I was doing was commuting to work
     IN (LOndon U.K) 12 miles  each way, the traffic then was still alot heavier
     then it is here (Portsmouth N.H) people seem to have the same  attention
     back then as now or lack of it the main difference is the bike's the last one
     I was riding was a Honda CB 350 K4 twin make the LS feel like a big bike
     also riders clothing big improvement's since then

               nice to be here

nhbrit -

After I get my LS put back together (new clutch&transmission) we'll have to meet for a coffee somewhere - I'm
a little ways from you, in Barnstead, Nh.
