Hi from Northampton

Post by S.fletcher8 »

Hi all I'm Sam and new to the R1 world only having my 5vy a couple of months but loving it already the more I ride it the more it amazes me any way brief history 16 had a DT50 then a KMX125 off the bikes for about 4 years (got a car) then on to a ZX6R G2 which I still own (sat in the garage for 5years) and now on to my 05 R1 think I've re-found my love of riding and hope I will get plenty of time to enjoy it this summer any that's me so thanks for reading and hope u like the bikeImageImage

Welcome to the forum Sam, beautiful looking r1, nice intro and pics too.... You have passed the first test. This is a great forum, helpful peeps, loads of support and good humoured banter to boot. Welcome in and enjoy your new toy, what you have experienced with your r1 is what we get every day on ours, once bitten by the Yamaha bug bikes will never be the same again..... They are just awesome :P
