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
Is it a 5VY you have there, either way do post some pics

Enjoy

Hi mate welcome

Welcome in bud

Welcome in Andy

I take it im a "good one" PJC?

Hi Andy,
Welcome to the site mate.

Hello Andy....welcome!

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

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

Not sure on your model Phil,but on the 5PW the Red ones have Gold forks,and the Blue/Silver ones have Black,no diference in them,just the anodising on the fork legs

But I yhink he has ssme colour scheme as mine. I say think as ive changed all the panels now snd forgot what she looked like

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

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.
