Another newbie, having just bought a 2008 4/4 from Life's Motors at Southport, with just under 4k miles.
Had loads of different cars over the years and several motorcycles and always fancied a Morgan.
Having given up bikes (allegedly!) to pacify the wife and kids, thought why not and jumped in with both feet.
Love the car and look forward to seeing some of you guys around.

Hi Davel, Welcome. Motor bikes, Morgans.....your not alone here ! My 4/4 Sport is a Life's car too. So Dave has finally got rid of that dodgy 2008 4/4 then..  (just joking)...Excuse my bad humour  . What kind of bikes have you 'allegedly' had in recent times ? I'm a bit of a V-twin fan and keep a Moto Guzzi and a Harley, for those 2 wheel moments in life. Enjoy your new car. Looking forward to seeing a photo on the forum when your in a position to do so. Cheers, NM

Mostly R1200GSs, although a Multistrada for a while, a Night Rod Special and a Fatbob at various short stages. Oh an a California EV for a short while too - just prior to the Warrington dealer going pop a few years back!
Looking for the 'Image Manager' to post a few photos but can't seem to find it!

Yep, you can't go wrong with the GS boxers. Nice. I have been close on many occasions (in past years) to going for a GS but for one reason or another, never quite got there. I like 'adventure' bikes. Sold my KTM 990 Adventure at the start of this year to try out the Harley XR1200. Very different bike indeed, but that's one of the attractive aspect of motorbikes. They tend to have their own particular character......hence the Morgan I guess !!

I had a MG Le Mans Mk III for several years. It was a great bike.
In a moment of madness I traded it for BMW K75S that was a pile of pooh.

Hi Dave...welcome. Hope you'll love your 4/4 as much as I do mine! I had to sell some bikes to clear out enough space for the car but have hung on to my 1200GS....although to be honest it doesn't get out as much as it use to!!
