New to r1 forum

Post by Yama3 »

Hi everyone I'm Phil and new to this site. I bought a 2001 R1 last year and am doing a few jobs to it for the year ahead. Fork bushes done, brake calipers serviced, new tyres and chain sprockets. Looking forward to a decent spin on it soon

Hi Phil and welcome to the forum

Its a bit quiet this time of year on here.

Tell us a bit more about yourself, is this your first R1, what other bikes have you owned or own?

Hi Phil and welcome to our biking community. The guys n gals on here are very knowledgeable, so any questions, just ask, someone will have the answer.

Any chance of a pic of your bike? It helps those of us who can’t read

Oh and join in the banter too

Welcome

Stephen

Welcome Phil from the oldest R1 rider on the planet. :D I look forward to reading a bit about your biking history and where you ride, solo or in groups?

Hi Phil I’m new to this forum as well. Had my R1 for about a year now a 4xv. She needs work but she’s lots of fun
