Just come to say hi.

Post by 20vGenesis »

Hey everybody,

Just joined and the Suns out so all good... I have just changed from an 04 Fireblade to an 05 Lava red R1 with only 5k on the clock and she goes like a rocket lol

I'm from Kent so any others from down south?

Welcome in Lee
Those lava red 5vy's are a thing of beauty & yes apparently they go really well ;)
get some pics up bud
"get yourself a free photobucket account & follow the idiots guide to posting pics from your pc
posting.php?mode=reply&f=6&t=10659
if you don't want to open a photobucket account then an alternative is go to
http://tinypic.com/

1 - "choose file" and browse to the image you wish to upload from your PC
2 - In the "resize" drop down choose either 15" or 17" screen (15 is enough and fast too)
3 - Press "upload now" where it will ask you to type in a couple of words to confirm you are a human being and not an automated program.
4 - Once done copy the text from the "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" field
5 - Then just paste it exactly as is in to your message.

or you can post direct from your not so smart phone using tapawank (tapatalk) it's great for posting pic's & notifications but wank for viewing the forum ;)"

Hi Lee, welcome to the forum.
5VY is a nice move in the right direction :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Don't worry about Kyle, since they've told him he is being kept in a padded van and not a padded cell, he's starting to think he's just like everyone else...he's just reaching out...much better than reaching around ;)
Unfortunately, this is what you have to look forward to if you continue in your quest for all things Yamaha.
,,,personally I'd buy a Kawasaki, much safer and less long term psychological damage...although you may end up with the odd broken neck or two. :D

Cracking bike Lee, and for me the best colour of the 5vy, i had one a few years ago and they go on and on and on, they are like the little Duracell bunny, keep them services and they won't let you down.

This was mine :D I loved her to bits

So your bike looks truly mint and she really is a rocket, enjoy her.

Join in the banter, our sense of humour can be a somewhat acquired taste but we have a good laugh and are always there for each other,

Welcome

Stephen :D

Welcome dude. She is lush. [emoji7] [emoji12]

I too have a 5vy and am just coming to grips with it.[emoji16] [emoji28] [emoji28] There are a few good discussions and tips for mods etc on the 5vy on here. If you have'nt already read them, then do so. [THUMBS UP SIGN][THUMBS UP SIGN] Well worth it if you wanna start modding. [emoji12] [emoji108] [emoji106] [emoji106]

Thanks fella. Just been out for a blast again and just seems to whine between 3-4k rpms in second so will just leave it I think as can't see they will do anything with a noise and no failure. Will have to start riding with ear plugs and get a loud exhaust lol

But my God is she fast. Tries lifting the front wheel in third on some rds, making my 04 fireblade feel like a 600cc pmsl
