Hey just a quick message to say hi to everyone! Was a member of another R1 forum, but that seems to have disapeared now so thought I'd give this one a look! Anyway hope you're all enjoying the sunshine, ride safe!

Welcome Andy, what model of R1 do you have? & post some pics of the bike up

Hi Andy, welcome in. This is the rebirth of the old forum just with new owners, some of who m are good, some not so

Hello Andy....welcome!

[sandilands1984]

Thank you for the warm welcome fellas, yeah I've got a 2004 5VY...how do I go about posting photos then? I never got the hang of it with the old site to be honest lol

[Bub]

Hi mate and welcome to the forum, posting pics is simple, open a photo bucket account, upload the pics then copy the img code and paste that in your thread

Yeah I'm not sure why it's got black forks to be honest, I had a 54-plate silver one a cpl of years before this one which had gold forks, I'd like to change them really...but laying low on the bike front for now as I've just bought a house, and don't want the mrs eying up my pride 'n' joy as a way of buying a bloody shoe rack or something! Lol...I even put off re-insuring it for a few months while the purchase was going through, in the hope she'd forget it was there! Haha

[sandilands1984]

Oh by the way fellas, I'm in the process of breaking a 2005 5VY engine if anyone needs any bits, only parts gone so far are crank & generator. Alot of it fits 4C8 also.
