New to the forum and a new R1 owner from Chesterfield

[Shane159]

Hi guys,

Thought I'd pop in and say hello I'm Shane from Chesterfield, I've just traded in my modded K8 GSXR 750 for a mint modded 4000 mile 2007 Laguna Seca Colin Edwards replica R1, I pick the bike up tomorrow morning and I've had that giddy feeling all week like a kid at Christmas lol.

Anyway I'll post some pics up tomorrow after collection but for now I'm going to have a look round the forum to perv on some R1's.

Welcome in Shane Not to far from me then,im over in Belper,got my R1(5PW) from CMC when it was at the top of Calow

[Shane159]

Thanks for the welcome guys, to be honest CMC is where I've bought all of my bikes from including the one I'm collecting tomorrow, there a good bunch down there.

This is a rubbish pic of my new bike but the only one I have at the min, you will see from the pic that the rear seat cover doesn't match but it will do next week as I've got it booked in to be sorted lol.

HI Shane welcome in, you will be modding the R1, but looking at the pics not much is required, nice 4C8

Lots of help here if needed

Where is the painted seat pod

Are they M4's she is wearing

Thank you, the bike got painted at race paint uk so that's where I'm taking it back. Unsure if you mean the exhaust lol but its got a full system Arata titanium exhaust.
