Hi everyone

(Should this be in the wrong place feel free to move it!)

I'm Duncan, and i thought this'd be the right time to introduce myself. I've been riding for about 6 years, a cbr125 for 5 and my cbr600 fs sport for about 9 months.

Riding lots, and despite riding for such time i'm still very much learning lots!

Known as Duncs, or whatever you like to be honest

Take care all,

Duncs

Hey! Don't mean to be rude but its quite obvious which section this should be in =]

Welcome to the forum, glad you are still enjoying learning, there is always somewhere to improve.

Unlike our resident Dunc lets hope you don't fall off an average of once a week.

Hi and welcome! Thumbs Up

At first I thought I might now be prone to mistaking you with Dunc, another member of this forum, but then read that you have a CBR125 (not his CG's) and that you don't crash your bike ever couple months so all should be well Laughing

will never give up his CG. I look at my fuel gauge more as a progress bar than a fuel gauge.
G: With my GSXR I do often effectively use it as a scooter with a clutch in town.
ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

HELLO!!!!

Welcome to the forum, i'm going to call you dunc Smile

As you have probably already read, i'm the destroyer of CG's. don't be surprised if someone misreads your name and thinks that i have bought a nicer bike....

Turns out I was wrong lol.
Well there is a lot of 'hello I am new' in that forum. And when I go in that forum I expect to see a lot of 'hello I am new' (new bikers we are talking about here)

I see the point about him not being a new biker but I would still say its a good place for introductions; I prefer seeing introductions there rather than in general bike chat.

Clearly I stand corrected.

edit: although I also don't see a special need for introductions, but unlike many other forums I have not seen someone told off for posting asking for help without an introduction thread. Which is a positive.

I wondered about that (reading sticky on posting rules carefully) before deciding sod it, I'm a new biker, I'll say hello in the new biker forum! 'Course, as Duncs (and yuri) says, he's not a new biker, so even less obvious...

hellkat, yeah it can seem a bit inane to have a topic where people just say 'hi!' Sort of like the shallow end of the forum pool for noobs to get their feet wet before they venture into *unspecified doom laden noise* GENERAL BIKE CHAT!! *abandon hope all ye who enter....*

My thoughts were that I'd been lurking for a couple of weeks, it seemed like the polite thing to do to say 'hi, I'm new, if I say something stupid, please resist the urge to flame me...' or subtext to that effect Wink

Anyway, Hi Duncs!

Nick

My reasoning was that i'm not a new biker, and i'd like to say, i'm glad as (albeit until now) a stranger i can stir such controversy just by introducing myself!

Anyway, hi guys

and Dunc, i'll try not to get confused, but this could be difficult as i once walked past my brother in the hallway and turned to him, putting a hand through my hair and having a heart attack when i discovered he wasn't a mirror.

Personally i reckon the S will sort absolutely everything out Wink

Hello Duncs...welcome to the forum, and ignore the noobs comment for pointing out you were wrong, when he hasn't been here long enough (i.e. pre 2004) to point such things out. Razz

Or unless G, Bendy or Kickstart say it's wrong, then you're in BIG trouble... Wink

Adhere to the Rule Book in Random Banter, and you should fit in fine. Thumbs Up
