Hi and a warm welcome aff1971
as Karl says, good really good to see the amount of members steadily rising, imho especially from Essex
.
i'm sure you will find as i have the C5 is a very compelling hobby with enormous amounts fun chucked in for good measure, in comparison to say playing golf it is also fairly cheap once your up and running because no fuel or serious tools are needed, can be a bit like a game of postal chess where you can leave it when your fed up or want to work out your next best move.
if your into tinkering/modification then the C5 is like having a basic canvas to work off, allowing you to think up or copy others designs and experiment, have a good look through the gallery pimping section to see what can be done and some of the brilliant results achieved.
you are now amongst very enthusiastic people who in the main don't take themselves over seriously, i've found the knowledge and help here is given freely and invaluable in adding to the enjoyment.
early days yet, recommend get your C5 sorted and come out on one of the many rides, it's the best place to get the infamous C5 smile and a real gas to ride several machines in convoy, listening to the gasps of the kids and adults alike, and you get to see members faces (unfortunately ying always has a yang
).
