Hey you guy's

Post by Loftuz »

Hi guys.

Just thought I'd say hi. New to this forum.
My real name is Craig from Cambridgeshire. Owned my 52 plate R1 for some 6/7 years now. I love it. Never been a problem, incredible power and speed. Plus the look of a beast. And as its in the better colour scheme (red and white) it really stands out. :)
Looking to do a track day this year. Been promising myself a track day for years now, just never got round to it.

It was my MOT plate. I've got a small one for normal use. It must have loosed right dodgy, a bike screaming up and down a bypass with no plate on? Oooops. :lol:

Welcome to the forum mate, bike looks nice (and so much better than the silver/black combo) :D

wrt to losing your plate, at least you won't get any speed camera fines :lol:
