Responded to my first post yesterday and thought it about time I introduced myself.
I have just checked my profile and it would seem that I created an account almost 1 year to the day.
I expressed interest in buying a small trail bike to a mate at the 2023 ABR Festival. He told me that he had a 250 Raid for sale and showed one to me that was on the campsite. What is that big headlight all about was my first thought. Anyway, a few days after the festival I gave it a quick test ride and thought, that'll do. It's at the right price, I'll use it for a little while and then move it on for something better.
By the time I had ridden it home, I had fallen in love with it.
I live in Newcastle-Under-Lyme, Staffordshire. That's a picture of my bike taken up in the Peak District a couple of weeks ago. If there are any members who live locally, do please get in touch.
