Welcome

Post by SPOTTS581 »

Hi guys and gals,Steven here saying Hello from sunny Old Coulsdon in Surrey.I own a lovely '99 R1 4xv with a teething problem.
Since passing my test in 1999 my previous bikes include an Aprillia AF1 125,a couple of GSX-R750,a Ducati 748,GSX-R1000 K3 and a FZR-400.
I find there is nothing better than getting your hands dirty fiddling/cleaning your bike on a sunday afternoon.
