Hi from sunny cannock

Post by wade »

Hi all still waiting to pick up my 2010 r1 still at dealer safety checks etc. So only been on test ride looking forward to some dry weather and bike. I am boarding on being a old git at the young age of 55. you name it I have probably had one.
thought that while I can still bend my back sport bike (where do I sign,) Any way we all look the same age with the visor down actually I look a little younger or so the misses says so. :shock:

Welcome in Wade
I'm sure you'll not be disappointed with the R1 but probably will be with the weather for some time to come

Welcome wade, you will not be disappointed with your new toy. 55 ain't old mate, I'm 6 months behind you :lol:

Anyway the 50's is the new 30's.. Which means loads on here are still in nappies.

At last got my hands on bike went out for about 60 miles roads wet and greasy so gently does it . I traded in a honda fireblade (2010) was a bit lighter and a bit smaller. I think iam going to enjoy the r1 even more from my short ride out ,seems more involved .look forward to meeting up when sun comes out .
