Hi all
My name is Paul from Maidstone in England.
I'm 45 yrs old and have been riding since I was about 10 yrs old. I started off with crossers
over the woods etc. Then at 16 got on the road legally
with a Honda MB 50.
After that I went onto the RD 125 then the 250 LC then 350 LC.
I always used to do my own work on my bikes and spent many happy times stripping the RD's down
and fiddling. I rebuilt the top end on more than a few of the bikes I had.
I didn't actual pass my test until a bit later then got an SV 650. I had a couple of them for a while.
Now I have a 99 R1 4xv. I love the bike and can see me staying with the R1 for the foreseeable future.
Anyway that's a bit about me and my biking background. I look forward to posting and maybe answering
some posts who knows.

Thanks I'll download tapatalk.
I've had my 4xv just over a year now. I absolutely love it.
Me and a few friends went down to the top gear track last year
on the stunt asylum thing. I'll try and post a vid of a few wheelies it
was a fun day.

Will add some more pics but here's my bike when I first got it. It had the single seat conversion on it but the missus had other ideas [emoji20]

If you've got a missus prepared to jump on the back of an R it's not all bad! Does look tasty like that tho.

Hmmm she did make noises a little while ago about doing her test but I'm not happy with that. She has smashed up a few cars!!! I am lucky tho she likes going on the back and doesn't mind me popping the odd wheelie. [emoji965][emoji106]
