Hi Guys and Gals, new to the forum but thought I'd say a quick "hi' to everyone.
I have to admit right from the off I do own a ZX10R which I now do my coaching work on however I couldn't let my old coaching machine go and kept him as a backup/good time bike.
"Frank" as hes known is a 2006 R1 5VY, some nice touches to him but basically standard, love him to bits.
How many of you all name your bikes?
Bloke.

Mike "spike" welcome in
Our Luke speaks highly of you which for Luke is . . . . well . . . . amazining i don't think i can remember him complimenting anyone LOL
Theres a few of the guys on her like the ZX10R & it's not a honda so we won't hold it against you
those 5vy's are lovely , always fancied butchering one

Afternoon mike , I've been in the same garage as you and your 5vy whilst you were tutoring a friend of mine Sammy (girl). Welcome in , I'm sure there are many on here that would want to pick your brains (myself included )

Welcome In Mike, I was with Luke and Simon you coached him on his GSXR750 at Cadwell this year. Have to say your MRS is a star loved the story about removing all the Green from the ZX10

Luke, Hash and I are looking at doing Hot Trax endurance racing this year so we will most likely see you in the paddock at some stage. Any assistance receives free food and beer

Enjoy the forum hope it makes you laugh

Welcome in mate. My bike is called 'the bike'. I don't do the whole naming thing, it's just not right!

Welcome in mike, sounds like your talents may help a few in here- enjoy the forum pal

i know thats why i said your next & not me ( i wish )

Welcome along

Welcome in Mr Edwards we share the same surname but sadly I do not share your skill for riding a motorcycle, however my beloved R1 and R6 are both called Vicky, I guess naming bikes must be an Edwards thing. They are both called vicky so I can't say the wrong name when I'm riding them, otherwise they could get upset and throw me off

Anyway as Jompy says, you have come very highly recommended by our Luke, and that really is praise indeed. We are all mad about bikes and it's good to have another knowledgeable member join the family, and this forum is like a family, there are no clicks like you get on other forums, peeps help and support one and other and we have a right old laugh

So welcome to the best forum in the world, and if your 5vy is called Frank, what's the ZX10R called?

Welcome

Stephen

Hi Stephen,
The Kawasaki is called 'Cato' as in the Japanese manservant to Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther movies.
Similarly, 'Cato' constantly surprises me, and keeps me on my toes and sharp witted - frequently when the front wheel is coming up I mutter inside my helmet "not now Cato" - but of course if you haven't seen the films you'll have absolutely no idea what I'm twaffling on about...

Seen a few vids with you on "cato" and it does have a spicy side to him.

Peter Sellars at his absolute best Steve is older that most on here, he is a lovely guy who I have had the pleasure of riding with at Donny on forum track day

Well Mike or spike, which do you prefer? oh I forgot to mention my youngest son is a Michael Edwards.... Anyway I'm glad I'm not the only one who talks to the bike when I'm riding her mind you she quite often talks to me giving me a little slide saying back of a tad please it's a little slippy here.......

I like Peter sellers so know exactly what you mean about Cato

As PJC says .....
