    Hey all,

    I came across these forums when trawling the net for information on my beloved 31A. Perusing a few auspicious posts made me feel right at home, and so I decided to register.

    I'm very new to motorcycling (going on a month now), but I'm enjoying learning to ride, and of course riding itself. My XJ900 was a bargain at the price I got her and despite her being a bit on the scruffy side, I wouldn't want to part with her, on the contrary, unless she suffers catastrophic failure somehow (I sure hope not!), I intend to keep her forever.

    I'll be in your care! I hope I don't commit too many blunders.

    Pictures of my bike (I've decided to call her Bia, after the Greek goddess of violence):

    Hey Toshiro, welcome.
    Bia, the Greek Goddess of violence, cool. 8)
    You don't say your location, but around here some guys own a Bia-tch, 8O known as the Greek Goddess of bikes that don't run right! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
    Nice looking ride.

    Thought I'd say Hi as well. I just got an 82 maxim 750 on the 22nd. I came across this sight looking for a speedometer and i've got to say I am blown away with some of the things you guys have done! Hope to make a few friends and pick a few brains.
