Re: Norfolk newbie
As in a new boy, I thought I'd share some recent biking history with you all.
Brought this what a bike, quick, loud and so easy to have fun on......
[URL=http://s566.photobucket.com/user/p ... .jpg[/img][/url]
brought this and had them both at the same time, a sort of best of both worlds...
[URL=http://s566.photobucket.com/user/p ... .jpg[/img][/url]
But a mate, brought a spanking new Busa, so it got me thinking......so much so that I sold both bikes and brought myself and bright and shiny Gixer....the addiction to white had already set in with cars, but now the white fever was descending on to bikes too....
[URL=http://s566.photobucket.com/user/p ... .jpg[/img][/url]
The gixer was nicked after just 18months, bunch of w@nkers........insurance paid out and so brought a Ninja........... in white obviously !!
[URL=http://s566.photobucket.com/user/p ... .jpg[/img][/url]
I had the ZX10R for about a year and decided I needed to slow down a bit, so fancying a naked brought this....it wasn't white, but as I brought it in November, I had the whole winter to give it a make over......
early spring this rolled out of the garage.........

owned if for 2 years, and loved it, the wind blast however when out with mates on blades and busas etc was horrendous, I refused to lay on the tank lol.......... so after a couple years and not having owned an R1 thought i'd give it a go...........had a go on a mates and loved everything about it, the noise was soooooo addictive.....
This is coming next Thursday.............can't wait.

Re: Norfolk newbie
Love the XR ....One thing I would suggest Pudley before you get Mike to flash the R1,is ride it for a few weeks before you get the tune...Then you really appreciate what Mike /flash tune does the bike,it really awakes it 
.....And if you are like me and don't like the aggressive engine braking he can sort that to.......

Welcome to the forum. Speaking as Narfolk born and bred "keep you on a troshin' boy" and enjoy those lovely bikes! If you have plently of thermals Whitwell Staion in Reepham are still holding their bike nights http://whitwellstation.com/friday-bikers-night/ although personally I'm sticking to off road until the salt goes...
Cheers!

Re: Norfolk newbie
Thanks for the info and pics of your bikes. I'll bet you had some fun on the B King! I met someone who'd had one and traded it on a Busa because he had trouble holding on when he opened it up!
