Hi guys, just thought id quickly introduce myself.

My names Ricky and im from Fife. New to the forum but not so new to biking.

Passed my test in 2008 and bought this, a new '08 R6, loved this bike loads:

As you can see, i added a few cosmetic upgrades and an Akrapovic exhaust along with a PC3.

Got bored of the 600 after about 10 months tho, so upgraded to this, a 2008 R1, again loved this bike:

To this i added a tail tidy and a set of Termignoni carbon cans(sounded lovely).

Then, i sold the R1 in 2010 after my GF at the time didn't like me being a biker(hindsight, wish i had sold her instead of the bike! :roll: )

And here we are now, 5 years later and ive finally bought myself another R1(Having stopped myself spending thousands on daft cars to try replace the bike buzz :hand: ), so here she is, 2012 on a '62 plate, just got her on Friday and i am besotted!!

As she sits just now she is pretty standard, only has Leo Vince cans, tail tidy and clear rear indicators. Plans are a PC5, Y-Pipe, custom map, double bubble screen, clear front indicators, ASV levers, adjustable rear sets, then think that will be it :think:

Cheers

Ricky

Welcome to the forum Ricky, as monkey face says cracking first post, we voild not ask for more :clap:

Beautiful R1's and the R6 you have had, there seems to be a theme with the colours.

There are very few cars that can give the same thrill as a bike and let's face it you are either a biker or you ain't, bikes are in the blood, something your ex GF obviously didn't understand.

Anyway welcome to the forum, peeps on here are friendly, very knowledgable and support one and other.

So welcome

Stephen

Thanks for the warm welcome guys :D

Regarding the colour theme, the funny thing about that is i always go out with the intention of buying a bright colour bike, and always come back with a dark stealthy coloured bike :lol:
