Well a little about myself.
About a year and a half ago I decided to take the plunge and try and gain my full bike license. Since a young age I had always loved bikes especially sports bikes. I loved the looks and the acceleration that they had. So I put the fear factor behind me as I had always thought and knew that biking is dangerous. At the age of 31 I thought,sod it. So lessons began and I passed quite quickly. I purchased a zx6 r ninja and had that for 6 months but felt a little cramped on it. Being 6 ft 4 ins and 17 stone any sports bike will be. I decided to then buy a litre bike and see how that felt. I looked at a few different bikes. Was actually ready to buy gsxr 1000 then found a mint 2000 yzf r1. The bikes previous owner was obsessed with keeping it clean and standard. The bike literally looked like it was took of the production line and stored away. So the purchase was made. So that is really all their is to say on my biking history. Other than that I'm just a regular guy who loves cars, bikes, gym and a beer.
