Hello From Newcastle Upon Tyne

Hello

Been looking at the forum for a good while now just never posted.

I was looking for a 4XV for a while. Seen a few on ebay but they were miles away. Then, like a small child, my attention went elsewhere.

Out of the blue a mate text's me. A bloke he works with has a blue 4XV, 2 owners, 10,500 miles with the MOTs to backup the mileage. Couldn't let it pass. Really nice bike. Not a show room condition, 8.5 out of 10. Suits me as I intend to ride it.
It is standard apart from a double bubble screen, micron high level pipe and gilles rearsets. I have fitted the standard pipe and footrests.

For all its a nice bike the bloke who owned did little more than wash it. Last winter it got it's rear suspension linkage bearings done, the spyball alarm removed (That was a headache), head races greased, fork oil changed, oil and filters, anodised bling removed and other bits and bobs done.

I have always said I like blue the best even before I bought it. My mate has a Red / White and when they are parked side by side I have to concede his is that bit prettier.

I don't have a photobucket account or I would have posted some pics.

Cheers Michael

Hello

Helps Michael and welcome to the forum mate . You actually joined the forum on my 32nd wedding anniversary and it's taken you one year and five months to either find the love of yiur life, the R1 that is, or pluck up the courage to join the mad house, wither way, better late than never as they say.

Any questions you have just ask, but don't ask monkey face how to improve yiur R1, he will have the fairings off in a flash, for some reason, only known to primates, he likes his bikes naked

Seriously, join in with the banter and any questions just ask

Welcome

Stephen
