It's bloody annoying though. I've stripped, cleaned, rebuilt and they're still doing it!

One thing I just thought about is that the carbs don't le…login to view the rest of this post

I try to get out as much as possible but family and work keep me pretty busy. If anyone is jheading out give me a shout. The Stockie is a bit of a favourite as is the Duke's Pass.

The Erskine hospital run is on tomorrow and I'm thinking about going to that, never been before.

I'm from Glasgow area Scrapman. Not a polis though. I work on wind turbines.

Here's a photo of the bike, not great but best I have to hand. Thinking about changing the screen to something just a little taller for my comfort...

evening all, noob to the r1

Evening all,

Been riding bikes since I were a nipper, got a few years under my belt. Got a few old bikes and recently got an r1 as I always wanted one since the day they were released and it was too good an offer to miss.
