Newbie Greeting

Post by Matt B »

Hi All - just joined the forum as I have recently purchased a 60th Anniversary R. It's mainly for track use but will be going out on the road occasionally - hoping to acquire/discuss set up tips/help others out where I can.

Hi Matt and welcome [emoji3] the guys are nosey so tell us a bit more about your biking history and get some pics of the bike up.

Also worth searching the forum for info on protecting the paint on the Anni, as seems prone to being easily chipped from road use. Venture Shield seems a favourite.

A few going to Cadwell in a couple of weeks too if you're not too far away. Enjoy the bike [emoji106]

Welcome aboard Matt, I'd definitely look at some paint protection for the anniversary edition as the yellow panels do seem to damage easily. I used Venture Shield on my M as many others have too. :)
