newbie from the SW coast

Post by billinom8s »

Hi there,

Where do I start..........in the beginning there was a honda ut soon the mistake was realised and the Yams worked their way into my life, DT, RD, RD, R1 and R1. Life is gooooooood. :dance:

I've been riding for 24 years, had R1's for the past 8 and have no intention of changing them.

I have a 99 on the road and a 99 on the track. I try to do all my own spanner work and i also seem to end up doing alot of spanner work others too, ahh well, it pays for toys and trackdays ;)

I like the forum fun, in fact run one myself.
Just wanted to say hi on here and mix with some educated personages who obviously have perfect taste in bikes - seems like i hit some form of jackpot, haven't worked out if it is a good jackpot or not yet though. :lol: :lol:

see round the threads soon
