today's newbie

Post by Biker-Dene »

Hey guys
Names Dene from Manchester, Doorman / Security officer :mrgreen:
Well yesterday I picked up my 13th bike an 08 r1 20k miles, my first grandad's since my r6 8 years ago
Sold my show winning hayabusa For cash and thought id get something a little more playful.

On the 4c8 r1
akro cans
exup disabled which I only noticed after finding out what error code 17 was. Looks like a shoddy job that I'm going to look into this week.
Gillies rear sets
Carbon exhaust heat shield
Tinted double bubble screen
Dunno if standard or not but brembo front and back master cylinders
Steel hoses
Adjustable levers
Tail tidy
R&g crash bungs full set..

Single seat unit that's loose as hell!!
Rear fairings and tail light also loose and doing my nut in!! OCD MAD

Apart from that and needing a good service plugs etc it's pretty mint

I'll post a pic once I figure out how.

Well helps Dene from Manchester ! welcome to our biking community, hope you have a good sense of humour as you will need one on here, saying that you are a northerner so that goes without saying.

Nice introduction, Tom
Out pics you need to host them in photobucket, the link below should help

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=144" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If you want to use the tap talk thingie on your mobile this should help


viewtopic.php?f=4&t=147" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

There are a few of us in the north west so you ain't alone.

Anyway welcome to the mad house

Cilla. ..... Oh that's colons sense of humour....... I still do t get it

Welcome

Stephen :)
