Evening all

[Westdale]

Hello all,

just thought I'd drop a line and introduce myself.

Been riding a GS for a few years and been introduced to a good friends R1 (2012) over the last few months, then been to watch a few track days...well I guess you know how this is going! I'm now the owner of a 2008 R1 track bike (pictures to follow if I can work it out).

I guess I will be mostly asking track related questions and queries around set up and parts.

Be nice, I will be king of asking stupid questions.....

Welcome in pal and as Sam said

A question only becomes daft once the right answer reveals your thinking to be - shall we say abstract

Welcome to the forum Johnny , and as peeps say the only stupid question is a question that is not asked. Peeps have a wealth of knowledge on here so just ask away, they love helping new forum members.

Oh one thing though.....

Welcome in Johnny
Queen of stupid questions here !

Don't listen to monkey face aka Jompy, she gets really upset if you have any sort of fairing on a bike, hers is naked, it reminds her of the days spent in her youth swinging in the trees

Oh and we have a strange sense of humour as well

Welcome

Hi, welcome

[Westdale]

Cheers everybody for a nice warm welcome.
Reading a few forum topics and I can see the levely of humour I need to aim down to

I've been busy over the weekend taking fairing off and damaged parts I have inherited (bar grips, speedo cover, crap stickers etc). Just starting to clean it all up now.

Regarding what spec it has on, I couldn't honestly tell you, that is how high my knowledge is. From what I have looked at everything seems to be pretty much standard apart from brakes, suspension and race fairing etc. It has had a power commander on previously but doubt I will need that for now!

Got a spare set of wheels so just getting a new set of tyres and some wets for the spares. And saving up for tyre warmers. My pocket money is quickly running out!

By the way, I don't know the difference between a reply and a quick quote, how to post a picture, change my signature........and probably many more things which make it look I have a vague ability and knowledge on forums!

[jompy]

With a quick post you can still scroll down & read the rest of the comments on that post , with the post reply you have more options like embedding you tube videos . In the main forum under the newbies section is the forum rules & guidelines you should be able to find a lot of answers in there including how to post pics from photobucket , how to set up tapashite & how to embed YouTube videos amoungst musch more , we all started somewhere

[PJC]

Look at this section there are some very helpful topics on there

Just a lil tip for ya, if you use tappatalk on ya mobile to view the forum and you have pics stored on ya phone you can upload without using photobucket

[jompy]

I confuse everyone but not as much as Cilla & then there's pinnit . . . . .

[Westdale]

Sadly it says the forum has disabled photo sharing from this forum??
