Hello from a 5PW owner

Post by Mick L »

Greetings folks, I'm restoring and repairing a 5PW and generally tinkering with it when I get time. Given the state of the bike I'm sure I will be here quite a lot. :lol:

Welcome to the forum Mick , you have found the right place I’d you want a wealth of knowledge on R1’s, just don’t ask me... as Julia says, I’m old, thick and vertically challenged [emoji23]

The thing is it’s true [emoji52]

Welcome and good luck with the bike

The thing is though.... I know you don’t mean it [emoji4]
