Re: South east newb
welcome to posting 
your newbie thread is for telling us a bit about your biking history etc (with pics if poss:-) )
the correct section for bike advice would be the 5jj section;-)
theres a few on here that are sh!t with spelling/grammar so you're not alone m8

Welcome in Adam
As Einstein ( Clarky ) says give us a bit about your biking history so we can get to know you . Good luck with the 5jj they're a cracking bike & yes 5jj section would be best for your 5jj woes
As for spelling , have you met pinnit & SteveR1yet ?

Welcome in Mate and enjoy the forum.
Photobucket just drag and drop em in or hit upload and select from your hard drive. Then click on the photo(s) and copy the IMG url link from the box straight into ya post.
Jompy put some better instructions than that up somewhere but i can't find them. Anyway it's fairly painless.

Welcome, they are still a great bike. Not sure how often you'll ride the ZX9 once you have the R1 on the road though ...
