Hi everyone.Thought i would say hello and let you know a little about me and my current bike.
i Hail from croydon but a the moment i am living in the Ukraine with my wife until we manage to get her a visa to come to the UK.i brought my bike with me as was not sure how long i was going to have to be here . Riding here is not as bad as you might think roads tend to be long and straight with only sweeping bends now and then. the other good thing is that Police presence is zero (they don't have any bikes ) and don't have the money for petrol for there Ladas. so if you can find a bit of road that you know does not have pothole you can give it some stick. they don't even bother you around town. unfortunately drivers around here have now awareness of bikes as there are not to many around so you have to be ultra defensive with your riding. My currant bike is a Yamaha R1 2008 vintage and i have most of the time owned Yamaha,s with the odd Honda thrown in but after the trouble that i have had and am having with this one that may not be the case for much longer hopefully maybe some of you on the site will look at the post that i am about to do and be able to help me sort it out as this bike has been a b1tch since the day that i got it anyway that,s me and i look forward to hearing from anyone at any time Please have a look at my post to see if you can point me in the right direction in sorting this bike.
Regards to you all Roy
