Some of you may already know me from the old R1 forum that died a few years ago; that was a fantastic forum, and I only hope that this one isn't a let down
About me
Mid-forties, live in Farningham (two miles from Brands Hatch)... I'm happily divorced (twice!), and now have a gorgeous girlfriend, Debbie, who I have been with for five and a bit years.
We have a Jack Russell, Rosie, and three cats - Pappy, Siggy and Marilyn/ Tripod (she only has three legs).
I have a beautiful six year-old daughter, Hannah.
I do nearly all my own (and friends) bike maintenance, which I love doing - I have a cave with a work bench and a bike ramp (plus a big beer fridge).
My bike
2002 R1 in silver - the fastest colour...
Yeah, yeah, I've heard all the stories about the red & white ones or the blue & white ones.... 'sall bullshit, mate!
I've owned it since new, and made various mods and upgrades. No carbon, no stretched swing-arm or chrome (I'm not American!).
I've been riding for about 16 years, and enjoy track days and ride outs, and hoping to do a lot of both this summer.
I'll post some photos on here once I've got my feet under the table and had a nose around.
That's about it for now.
Looking forward to getting to meet and ride with you guys soon
