Thanks for the comments guys. Pity the weather is so crap all I can do is clean the R1 so by spring it will be grey primer in places, can't stop rubbing it

Re: Hi from Sheffield
Nice bike mate, where did she come from. I used to Live in High Green and work at HSBC in the city and also Tankersley (Telly Tubby land) some fair roads to play on but be warned you really need to have her setup otherwise it gets a tad lively. I have some great settings for a standard bike if you are about 13 stone
