New to r1 forum

Post by Yama3 »

Hi everyone I'm Phil and new to this site. I bought a 2001 R1 last year and am doing a few jobs to it for the year ahead. Fork bushes done, brake calipers serviced, new tyres and chain sprockets. Looking forward to a decent spin on it soon

Hi Phil and welcome to the forum

Its a bit quiet this time of year on here.

Tell us a bit more about yourself, is this your first R1, what other bikes have you owned or own?

Any chance of a pic of your bike? It helps those of us who can’t read [emoji3]

Welcome Phil from the oldest R1 rider on the planet. :D I look forward to reading a bit about your biking history and where you ride, solo or in groups?

Hi Phil I’m new to this forum as well. Had my R1 for about a year now a 4xv. She needs work but she’s lots of fun
