Hello from a 5PW owner

Mick L · Post by **Mick L** » Mon May 11, 2020 6:10 pm

Greetings folks, I'm restoring and repairing a 5PW and generally tinkering with it when I get time. Given the state of the bike I'm sure I will be here quite a lot.

Welcome to the forum Mick , you have found the right place I’d you want a wealth of knowledge on R1’s, just don’t ask me... as Julia says, I’m old, thick and vertically challenged

The thing is it’s true

Welcome and good luck with the bike
