Hi all im a newbie here(looked at various posts for months) and i`ve finally taken the plunge and registered...
a bit about me bike history. yam rd50@16 then several years with several rd250/350lcs a couple of suzi x7` flirted with a gpz900r then about 10yrs with a zzr1100c and finally last few years bock to the yamaha fold with a 2001/02 reg r1 5JJ.
I think thats about it.
Cheers..Paul
