Hi all, and thanks for remembering me. Yes I was a member of the old forum it seemed to disappear and then I was sidetracked, and didn't catch up. I thought a lot of user names seemed familiar!
I'm from Pontypridd and 43 and went to Coed y lan
The bike has had a few mods
Ohlins ttx shock
Wp fork internals.
KN air filter.
Braided lines.
hh pads.
Harris rearsets.
Renthal clip ons.
Single seat.
Akrapovich cans.
Akrapovich Cat removal.
Power commander, now removed looking to reflash the ecu (seems more elegant)
Quick action throttle.
AIS removed.
-1 front sprocket.
Titanium/stainless bolts used when I could afford them (it keeps the bike looking new).
Combined indicator rear light.
Flush mounted front indicators.
Light weight battery.
Medium feel grips.
Iridium plugs.
Carbon mudguards
Carbon tank infills
And a shed load of trackdays Almeria, Jerez, Portimao, Silverstone, Donnington, Mallory ,Brands indy, Pembrey and Llandow (great track) (although not many in the last year)
I think that pretty much covers it.
I'm looking for advice on the ecu and tps settings. i'll start a new thread in the forum for more details.
Thanks for the welcome, will try and contribute as much as I can. :D

Had some great games of rugby at Bryn Cellog (Cellenog?)
Started riding scramblers up Graigwen in Pontypridd when I was a teenager. Didn't get my road licence until I was 30, one of the biggest regrets of my life.

It's the will they/won't they gamble that adds to the excitement!
