Re: Hi everybody

I don't feel my 5jj needs a steering damper, but I don't know any different.

My Vmax definitely does though :o

Cheers Moise. I tried Roy Ayres but no luck there either.
As you said, my local dealer is pretty good. I'll get it from there.

Re: Newbie! But second R1

Welcome in. I have a very very clean 5jj but in the faster red. Mine has just turned 28k on the clock. I've had it for a couple of months and gave a lot more for it than you gave for yours so you certainly had a bargain.

Re: saying hello

Welcome aboard. I too have a 5jj in red (the fastest colour) and I love it!! Takes some calming but getting there now. Probably the most balanced well engineered bike I have owned, and there has been a few.
I'm sure you'll love yours too.

Re: New to R1s

Hi Andy,
I'm fairly new to my R1 (01 5JJ). I took the plunge a couple of weeks ago and loved it instantly. I'm sure you will too.

I have another bike for just nipping around which isn't hard on my wrists and thumbs but the R1 on a decent run is just awesome.

Welcome to the forum!

Re: Newbie

Thanks everyone for your welcomes.
I think I'm gonna enjoy it here.
I don't have a photo bucket account so can't post any pics yet but will do as soon as I open one.
Thanks again,
Joolz
