Hello folks

Post by R1Rich »

New to the forum. Owner of a 2010 R1 from new. Converted it to race/track a few years back. Just completely rebuilt it again due to a crash at oulton last year followed by an engine blow up and silverstone a few weeks later. Anyhow, looking forward to searching through the forum.

Welcome to the forum Rich, oulton park is a fantastic track, sorry to hear of your off and your engin blowing up..... Not so good.

You have come to the right place for banter, humour and General p!ss taking, and the guys are very knowledgable about everything bike related, and a few other things besides .

So welcome to the mad house

Thanks for the warm welcome folks. I'll get some pics posted soon. Quick biking history. Off road when I was younger. Various scramblers. First road 636 then sp2, zx10 then the Big Bang. First Trackbike was a 954. The bought a 4c8 already race prepped. I them started to convert the Big Bang myself(which I bought new). Sold the 4c8 last month to concentrate on the 14b.
