43 old ! You'd best piss off to another forum mate :lol:

Welcome in Aidy
Hope you enjoy the forum and the R1 :dance:
Which model is it ? Is it the 5vy first of the twin underwear exhaust or is it a late registered 5pw first of the injection models ?

It's still a fucking great bike mate , yes it is different to the 5vy as the 5vy engine was a different beast but you will love the 5pw .
If you want to post direct from your smartphone then Tapatalk is great or I use postimage.org to host my pics but you don't need to have an account with them although it is handy , upload your pic and copy the direct link , post the link and then highlight the link as if you were going to copy it , while it's highlighted click on the Img tab or it maybe a little pic of a tree that will sit above where you type your thread .
To see what your image link should look like before you post , underneath my post with the pic click on QUOTE and you'll see how I've posted my pic
