Hello from Norn Iron
Hello from Norn Iron
Hello newbie here, how everyone doing.
A wee bit about myself 40year old from Northern Ireland been riding bikes these last 10 years
Bike history started with the Honda 400's had 3 nc29's and a Vfr 400 Nc30 ( took up around 3 years riding ) great wee bikes,
Moved to a Honda firestorm 1000 ( bit of a garden gate ) but comfortable, ( Had it around 2 years )
Ducati 748 ( great bike but expensive to keep ) had it for three years. Now sits in the new buyers house as an ornament. ( It was made to ride )
Then present bike that i've had these past 2 years Yamaha R1 5vy ( some piece of kit)
I also have a R6 5eb that is used for racing over here in the pre-injection championship and a Ktm 250f for fun days in the mud.
Well i feel like i've went on a bit, sorry for the ( My history lesson )
Hope we can all help out each other with are questions and a bit of banter
Cheers Kevin

Got any pics of the steed? whats up with the mc?
Got the bike knocked over last year in IOM when i was over at the southern 100 nightmare, its all back together except the rear seat cowl that has some marks on it. looking the exact paint code as the guy spraying it has done it twice and can't get the colour matched. Noticed a user manual on here and i took the code of it and gonna call Yamaha in belfast in the morning.
