I thought the same Phil...... Has Jompy been messing with his fairings again..... I've told him plenty of times he will go blind :lol:

Welcome to the forum tommy, ignore Jompy, he is one of our senior members who gets a tad confused from time to time, put three spades against a wall and ask Jompy to take his pick...... He is totally bolluxed.......

Seriously, this is a great forum, we love pics, like pod said..... And also we love to know peeps biking history. Jompy is harmless in small doses.

TommyR82 wrote:Cheers for all the comments everyone, seems a friendly forum! I posted in another part of the forum for advice as I was concerned about the front fairing not looking quite aligned on the 2001 R1 I was hoping to buy, so I have since looked at some other high mileage/ tatty one's for reference and they were fine, so unfortunately not gone ahead with the original possible purchase. But im gonna keep searching.

Bit about me..... loved motorbikes since I can remember, and rebuilt 3 when I (should have been) studying for my GCSE's. Then had a number of different bikes, my favourite at the time been a Suzuki RGV 250, but when I lost a mate, I had a number of close calls etc, I sold my bike and got various cars, but I miss motorbikes and life is too short so now im looking for an R1!

Tom there's a lovely 5jj in the for sale section from a member carson
