New member from Bucks

Post by Mikehargreaves »

Hey Fellas

Just a quick intro. I'm a 36 yr old bloke who lives in Wendover Bucks and in the last year or so I rekindled my love of riding bikes. I used to ride a 52 plate R6 but had a bit of a lay off and came back with a 05 R1. Absolutely loving it and as a typical bloke (and engineer) love meddling with the bike and adding bits and bobs.

I'm always up for a quick spin out if anyones nearby and fancies a ride out. I'm also more than happy to help people with mods and general servicy type stuff...

I'm also looking at getting into track days if anyone has a trailer and would be interested in comming (or taking me) along.

Safe one guys

Mike

Cheers.

Ps if you've got a PC5 or PC3 check out my cheap alternative to a quickshifter Mod in the 'tips and tricks' section.....

Cheers and yeh no worries I reckon it'll work OK with the PC3 and it would be good to give it a test. The only issue is the PC3 has a 'plug in' type cable for the quickshifter and I have no idea (as I dont have a PC3) what the plug is or whether (hopefully) its a standard type plug thats readily available. Other than that the concept will work ok (absolute worst case senario you'll have to solder some wires on to the relevant pins of the PC3 (again without seeing the paperwork or a quickshifter made for a PC 3 I wouldnt even know which pins to suggest.....)

ANYONE out there with a PC style dynoject quickshifter willing to post a close up of the plug on the end of the quickshifter cable (PC3 end) ????
