You are not wrong mate, can't get their hands in their wallets...
Welcome to the site Alex, you have passed the first test with flying colours
you posted a pic... We love pics on here
Whet makes that better is it's an awesome pic of you going round the Melbourne loop...... As Jon said, we were there last Tuesday, but to be fair, I didn't look that good, so nice one mate
This is a really great forum, lots of friendly peeps, no clicks and everyone is willing to help one and other out...... And we all love Yamaha's..... So welcome and enjoy.

Cheers lads!
Biking history then, sa50 passola, rs125 harada rep, dt125, cbr400, xr250r jdm, gsxr750ws, dr350, xr400r, dr650se, ccm644ds, and that's about it over the past 14 years. The r1 was purchased after the gsxr in that list and obviously I still have it. It's not very oem, 4c8 yokes, 14b forks calipers and wheel, Barnett clutch, isr mc and clutch perch, full akro with yosh can, translogic qs, and various other bits and bobs. 14t front sprocket for winners as well lol.
I also have an xr650r for green lanes, and a set of sm wheels for it for when I want to be a tw@
Btw, anyone fancy these? Gold nitride 5pw forks, stanchions are brand new along with seals and oil, fork bodies done 5k
