London newbie

Post by Shushman »

Hi guys and girls. Thought id say a quick hello and give a little info about myself and my bike. As you have probably guessed, im based in london and own a 2011 r1. Im an experimental individual when it comes to bikes and cars. Have owned a few classic cars and a few bikes now. Moved on the to realm of the beastie r1 about a year and a half ago and have loved every moment of it.

The bike currently sits with akra pipes and a delkevic decat pipe. Next step will be a flash tune. It also has a custom wrap job carried out at home.

I am 25 and also photograph bikes and cars as a hobbie and looking to turn it into a side business. So feel free to ask for photograph sessions (im cheap) :dance: i also have an instagram account so feel free to have a look. Divineproductions.

Here are some pictures of my bike before and after. Enjoy. Hope to help on the forum and be helped.....

Welcome to the forum mate, you will fit right in here and you have passed the first test with flying colours, you have posted some awesome pics without having to be asked... We love pics on here.

This is a great site, no clicks, just peeps who are mad about Yamaha's whether they are r125's, r6's or r1's or anything Yamaha..... We even have the odd honda member..... Who's bikes want to npbe an r1 when they grow up.

Loads of friendly banter and lots of help and support too..... Enjoy the forum and your beautiful r1

Steve

Welcome

The wrap looks mint mate. I'm in the business but I've never had a go at it myself so I'm getting one of my colleagues to do mine. I've got some white carbon Metmark vinyl to go on so hopefully it will look nearly as good as yours.

Hi Hash.

I will put some up as soon as it's done. I'm hoping to get it sorted over the next week.
