North West Newbie
« on: 13 June 2013, 09:34:16 am »
Hi all,
Browsed the forum a couple of times in the past, but decided to register after Fizzy Pies gave me one of his 'business cards' at the Three Sisters charity ride out/track day thing on tuesday.
I ride a 2007 FZ1 Fazer (owned from new), a 2000 R1 (from new), and a 1976 CB400F (owned by my father in law since 1978, me since 2002).
Right, off for a poke around the forum esp FZ1 section re handlebar/risers mods.
 
Andy

I'm just outside Southport, West lancs. Just stuck a pin in the members map.
 
Where do you post pics? In this thread, or is there a gallery?
 
Might have to do it later anyway, I'm at work now.

The 400f takes me back a bit I wish I still had mine the engine was great and the brakes not so great especially in the wet.

Yeah,it's an old pic but the R1's not changed much, just has a different end can now.

Rideout sounds good.

We'll chuck a few dates around and see who's off. I'm an awkward shift worker, so ill have to work round everyone else.

I work shifts too. I work a lot of weekends (12h nights & days), so most of my rides are during the week when everyone else I know is at work!
