5VY in Brum

Post by Gooders »

Evening all, just joined this forum having owned my R1 since June. Had an ST1050 before and still have my track-only Thudercat. May well take the R1 on track next year when I'm feeling brave... I've got a few questions but will post these separately

Cheers you lot. I love this bike, it had only done 13k when I bought it (17k now) so is mint and makes me grin every time I open it up! Now I've got used to it I'm looking to change bits; so far I've put a Pipercross filter in and am looking for cans, that or will take apart the standard ones. Can't seem to post photos yet so this is my photobucket album: http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn36 ... ed0460.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; :music-rockon:

Welcome in mate. I agree with Clarky, nothing like a R1 to put a smile on your face!

Welcome to the forum Alex and to the banter. You have a beautiful looking R1 there and as clarky says, they do bring a smile to your face.. Oh and you need a good sense of humour on here..........
