Hi Peeps
Just thought I'd introduce myself as a newbie Embarassed (to this site) My name is Gary and I'm not new or new to biking. Thumbs Up My first bike was a second hand Honda CB 350 in 76, it did what it was designed for and gave me a couple of years experience, 78 I got my hands on a brand spanking new and shiny Kawasaki Z 650 Laughing , love that bike. 81 upgraded to a used Honda CB 900. should have stayed with the Zed Crying or Very sad . A few trials and commutes then into boxes & buses for the next 35 years Embarassed . December 13 got a 03 Yamaha R 6 toy Very Happy , looked at it until April (not ridden) Sad wondered if I'd done the right thing, would I be able to handle it? for a start Confused WHAT A RUSH BOY IT WAS AS IF I'D NEVER STOPPED RIDDING Cool . The next 7 months Iv'e done 12,000 miles & few mods, Is it just me I'm 58 & I want to ride it like I'm doing the T T every time I put my arse on it Laughing I'm into S K A, bikes and women, well just my gorgeous wife Rolling Eyes & bikes, Going to Sin City 2nd April for the first ride of the season, see you all there. Thumbs Up

You OK with the riding position on the R6? I found even a CBR600F a bit bum-up-face-down for my tastes. Embarassed

yeh but I'd already splashed £3800 Shocked for my new toy before thinking/trying Embarassed a speed triple or even road testing the R 6 Confused , But what a rush Laughing It's so addictive even the numb hands & bum or my bad back didn't put me off Thumbs Up I just liked the R6 with all the toys & the paint job.
At first I wanted a barn Zed 650 Brick Wall to do up into a retro 60's cafe racer like I had in the 70's Angelic but the Yam was done & cheaper Dance! all I had to do was fit a jell seat remove the passenger pegs & seat Laughing & ride it like I stole it Police what a rush Bounce!Evil or Very Mad I keep Praying for Sun days all the time.
I work nights The world's smallest violin player, just for you! so most days I'm Praying for Sun days & out police spotting at mack 2 Shhh! Did I say what a rush my new toy is? Shifty
Happy days can't wait till April Bounce! Bounce! Bounce! Bounce! Bounce! Bounce!

Edited for truth. At the moment, it looks like an autist's stimming parade.
