Hello mate, welcome.
There's a lot of cruiser riders that nod only at cruisers and sportsbike riders that nod only at others sportsbike riders.
I don't give a damn as I ride a Harley and an R1 and nod at every fucker. Too many snobs if ya ask me.
Enjoy the forum.

Pete I also nod at every fucker I see on 2 wheels but wonder if I'm the only Cnut that nods the amount of times I get 'blanked'...

Ha Ha Ha bless him
you still got the 4xv/5jj streetfighter ?

[topline5800]

No Mate, Its still up for sale at BadBoyz Motos, since I traded it back in...The owner of the Shop Built it..Guy from Manchester.....Builds a lot of Choppers and that sort of S**te (Each to their Own).
Think the bike is up for 5500Euros, as Bikes/Cars in Spain just seem to hold their money....Suppose they just don't Rust !!!
See you have a 98 Streetfighter ?...Have you any pics on here mate ??...

[jompy]

mines rough & ready , i hate the headlamp unit but can't seem to find the spare £300 for one off a CB1000r lol
Heres the infamous "top box" pick , changed a few little things on it since that pic , need to take some new one's . love the riding postion

His n Her's

How it was when i first got it with a rack on the back & bent polished forks lol

[topline5800]

Still dine a nice job of her......your expansion tank looks same as what was fitted to mine, will put another pic of it......I know what your saying about the headlight, think the one on mine was from a KTM ?......Will post some more

[jompy]

it's not off a KTM Duke 2 as i have one of those lol

[topline5800]

Its the only part I never liked about the bike, but was reluctant to change it......coz like you couldn't find anything that looked the B*llocks!!!

[Steve R1]

Welcome in Martin some nice bikes there. You will get used to our sense of humour, peeps mostly friendly, those that bite have muzzles fitted, loads of advice.

I'm also impressed in that you got Jompy to put up a really nice pic of his half an R1, it actually looks good in a field without its humungus top box.

So welcome and enjoy the banter

[topline5800]

Thx Steve R1......Bloody good Forum, Glad I joined, I have a few niggly issues with my R1 and found everyone very helpful. Just got 2 weeks to go before hometime so I can start tinkering
Sure I will get used to the Banter the more the better!!!
