Well that sucks!

I've drain some out later tonight & let you know.

Cheers guys

That's good to know. That's leant on the stand so assuming that's why it would look overfull.

Another "not sure" issue! My oil sight glass is very dark. I've tilted the bike with a friend over as far as it will go & there seems to be no movemen…login to view the rest of this post

I did mean their model/make if you will as I assumed they were parking lights?

I've managed to get them out & I'm pretty sure you are right Mark so cheers Pal.

Thanks PJC I will have a look now

Cheers guys

Excellent! I had a look under the front fairing & found the 2 rubber seals but can't seem to get access to them! I will have another look a little lat…login to view the rest of this post

Hi All, Firstly, I have no idea what's they are. 2 small bulbs located in the headlights. More to the point how do I change them ( assuming I need to …login to view the rest of this post

I knew he was! Little sh!t!

It's ok. Let's see him outrun the bike! Haha

Now I'm making myself look really IT illiterate!

How does the Member Map work?

It took me through to Google Earth but I couldn't work out where other member are?

I fully intend to! I found a nice route driving through Breadon today on my way to Pershore. Looking forward to taking the steed on a run tomorrow. Out of interest has anyone changed their side stand? Mines looking a little worse for wear! Does anyone live around Gloucestershire? I checked the ride ...

I've never known another person call it the idiot light! Haha.

I can usually get around 130-140 but I only tend to hit 30-50mph.

Education is brilliant. 5 weeks off now.

Plenty of riding time. Plus the weather is actually great for a change!

That is sad. Not because you won't but because you can't. It's just a pain in the ass having to get it through the gate everyday plus I think I may be annoying the neighbours :) Only slightly! Haha! Unintentional of course! Thank you SteveR1. Let's say 1/4 life crisis? I'm a Sports Tutor/Teacher. I ...

Cheers Gucci!

It took me ages to get it right.

I spent this afternoon redyeing the leather seats!

Any ideas on lockable covers? Anybody use them?

I've moved the bike from the garden to the road now so would prefer to keep it away from the elements.

Cheltenham gets rain 345 days a year!

I had one lesson on a 125 & then moved to a 600. Everything was then done on a 600. Bought the R1 before I passed & have been riding it ever since. In regards to the mophead being experience then I stand corrected. Thinking about it, it has taught me valuable little lessons. For example, nev...

In my defence I didn't realise that everybody would assume I learned on an R1. I mean I'm crazy but not that mental! I'm happy to be guest but won't stand rudeness my friend. R1 is the first bike that I've owned. The 125 & 600 were my instructors bikes. Hope that clears everything up. Anybody el...

It is the first bike I've owned.

I was taught on a 125 & moved up to months on a 600.

So I've moved from 125 to a 600 then to an R1

I don't really count the mophead.

Jompy you started so well & I had a lot of time for your first comment. Now I've boxed you in with PJc. There is no need to be rude or personal. I don't know him & he doesn't know me. I would still prefer him to stay away from my future posts. I learned on a 125 then moved onto a 600. I have...

Well Mr 31 years experience, track day instructor & all round bike warrior I politely request you take your mountains of over exaggerated experience, opinion's & negativity somewhere else. They are not wanted nor appreciated here. I joined as an enthusiast hoping this forum was different fro...

WOW! Slightly over opiniated & rude. I suppose you get the self righteous on every public forum. Just for the record I also own a car so not sure how you've come to the whole selfish conclusion. The bike is a weekend toy as my job dictates that I must carry a ridiculous amount of sport equipment...

Everything helps I guess. I still ride with my old instructor from time to time. Each to their own I suppose. I realised this would be somewhat of a controversial topic before I posted. My bike is a beautiful machine. Like any other machine, the more experience you have the easier it becomes to oper...

I read so many forums about having an R1 as a first bike.

Most pointed me in the direction of the "Crazy" sign.

I have no intention of disrespecting the machine as so many riders put it.

What won't last very long?

It is a crazy choice but I'm a "deep end" kind of guy. I had a discussion with a friend of mine who mentioned some track day training. I fully intend to look into it. The more experience the better. I have restraint. My wife is 8 months pregnant. I HAVE TONS OF RESTRAINT!!! I think I may h...

Now I am not naive enough to think that I will not get maximum finger wags when I tell everybody that I chose an R1 as my first bike. At the age of 25 I've become bored by 4 wheels. I needed a new thrill so decided to take a trip down "Mid Life Crisis" lane, grow a beard & buy a motorb...
