my R1's a banger

Post by Lockandkey »

Hi All

So I just wrote a whole piece and in trying to upload a picture i lost the page :oops: :oops: :oops:

anyway, so, hello all. i am a fresh owner of an R1 and while i may be new to the forum this particular R1 isnt. I was lucky enough to see mavericks ad right at the point of having made a decision that the R1 was going to be my next bike. I was considering a Ducati Panigale but i never really got round to trying one on for size.

Ive come off an 1000rr5 fireblade and was again lucky enough to to sell it before taking delivery. Having spent 2 years on the saddle of the fireblade i thought i was ready for the R1, however on my maiden voyage i quickly understood all the reviews i had read. What a bike. i do believe this is my fav bike so far, ive not owned that many and only done like 50 miles so far ...

no doubt i will be posting from time to time as i get my saddle time. role on summer!!!

I wil try upload a picture, just need to figure out how !!!922

Welcome in Javeed
You got it off Mav ? He's got ocd with his bikes so it'll be mint & he's a good bloke too .
Sounds like you've already fallen in love with the 14b .
Don't be a stranger this is more than just a bike forum it's more of a gathering of idiots , Muppet's & the deranged !
Have a sense of humour & don't take things to heart .
Looks like you've already worded out how to post pics but here's a guide anyway you may or may not find it helpful
And for posting pic's as we love pic's
get yourself a free photobucket account & follow the idiots guide to posting pics from your pc
posting.php?mode=reply&f=6&t=10659" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
if you don't want to open a photobucket account then an alternative is go to
http://tinypic.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

1 - "choose file" and browse to the image you wish to upload from your PC
2 - In the "resize" drop down choose either 15" or 17" screen (15 is enough and fast too)
3 - Press "upload now" where it will ask you to type in a couple of words to confirm you are a human being and not an automated program.
4 - Once done copy the text from the "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" field
5 - Then just paste it exactly as is in to your message.

or you can post direct from your not so smart phone using tapawank (tapatalk) it's great for posting pic's & notifications but wank for viewing the forum ;)
