Newbie

Post by bobbyboy »

Hi all, new to the forum, but not new to the R1.

I've owned my 2 4xv's for 10 years or so, and they feel just as special now as they did when I first got them.

They share the garage with a few other bikes, including a number of old strokers.

I lead a bit of a busy life, so don't get much chance to post on forums often, but I'll try my best to get involved. :)

Nearly bought a blue one a while ago, but had to leave it, due to a lack of room....

They're one of the reasons I don't get much time on forums, too busy fixing/servicing and if I'm lucky, riding them.

A nice problem to have though, I guess :D

Almost all of them get ridden, but with only 1 arse, not nearly enough to be honest.

You can only ride one at a time, and the good thing is they are ridden and clearly very well looked after :clap:

Hi, welcome.
I'm guessing that "sorry I'm late, the bike wouldn't start", can never really be an acceptable excuse?
