Welcome to the forum Thomas, this is a great site, actually more like a biking community rather than a forum, with a wealth of knowledge, so any questions, just ask.
Tell us about your banger ... that’s what we call the Big Bang R1’s in here, I had three of them, they sound amazing and with ackras, a de-cat, baffles removed and a flash or PCV they sound amazing and pop and bang all day long [emoji4]
So please tell us if your biking history, we line to get to know fellow members , and post up some pics...
Like you, we are all missing our bikes so we are probably a bit madder on here than usual, we’ve got a thread going where we are posting pictures of all the bikes we have owned, it makes an interesting read.
Welcome to our community, join in the banter and have a laugh with us all. Hopefully we will be able to get out whilst there is still some summer left [emoji4]
Cheers
Stephen [emoji4]

Thanks for the welcome guys
Don't have many picture of my past bikes, will see what I can find and post a few.
Only picture I have of my R1 from a track day last year, I have added/changed a few things since then, rear seat removed, braided hoses and a Ohlins rear shock. Got the FGRT forks to do next as the fork springs are way to soft for my fat arse.

Nice pic Thomas [emoji1303] braided hoses do improve them.
On The List thread, you don’t have to post actual pics of your bike, if you haven’t got any pull one from the internet...
But don’t do what Jompy did the other day in the RSPB forum... he was after a pic of some birds... of the feather variety..,
He searched for “great tits”....and was shocked by the images that appeared....he then got clobbered by Jen [emoji23][emoji4]

That’s more than me.... my last track day was in 2014 [emoji52] I used to don8 to 12 a year. My favourite track, Oulton Park, No Limits used to run double days a couple of tunes a year, they were fantastic as you started day two where you left day one off [emoji4]I also like Donington....got followed around there by the police [emoji4]
I’m on the red n white 4c8 with red t shirt on over my leathers [emoji4]
