Hi,

Thought this is the best place to say hi, passed my test back in October 2022

Maybe I should have waited out the winter but I couldn't help myself and bought a GSXR 1000 L4

Have managed to get out about 6 times so far when its been dry enough and at least 10 degrees and wow do I love it

I used to modify cars and be a member of the RSOC, the modifying bug seems to be within the DNA as I have already been modifying the new two wheeled pride and joy

Anyway hope to meet like minded individuals and get out riding with some too

Welcome and beautiful bike.

When you said 10 degrees, I thought you meant real temperature (F) and you were really tough .

Yes, if it's forecast to be at least 10C / 50F I'm looking to get out also.

I'm guessing it is the MOT but all the Brit bikes look so clean and well sorted.

Welcome, we have a few from across the pond here. Great looking bike. I am almost fluent in American, let me know if you need anything translated into English. Enjoy the site.

Welcome from down under.

The steed looks in fantastic condition. Enjoy her.

You’ll become multilingual if you hang out here long enough.

Mine had been fitted with ASV levers. They really are a good design and an addition. I'm not into much modding but that's an important and good one, IMHO.

I suggest to help with hand placement check out Dave Miss lever adjustment. Will make for easier lever hand tuning. YouTube Dave Moss. Lots to learn if you’re into tuning.
