I’m a man of.... well, hardly any wealth at all and fairly dubious taste (apart from actually getting the right bike of course😉)
Been lurking for a couple of weeks whilst trying to figure out how to get a photo of the bike on here that didn’t blow up to monstrous proportions and learning the intricacies and idiosyncrasies involved in owning one of these beauties! So here’s my ride... Apologies for the size, this is the smallest I could get the thing to go! Although, as you will get to find out, I’m not the most skilled person on a computer/iPad/phone etc! As for the bike, I’ve decided to keep her away from the salty crud for the time being so she’s sat in a garage on an optimate with a fuel stabiliser added to a full tank of super unleaded. Although the tank hasn’t stayed full as I couldn’t stop myself from firing her up every now & then just cos she sounds so bloody good!!😆 Don’t get on t’internet as often as some so please excuse me if I don’t respond as quick as some. Look forward to chatting with you all and maybe meeting up when the weather improves...if I haven’t already put you off by then that is!😆

Nope, didn’t work either! Will try to figure out what I’m doing wrong (Operator Error is ringing in my head at the mo!).
Hope to rectify soon!

Many thanks for the welcome, sorry I’ve not been able to upload a photo yet, I’m getting some assistance on that front so hopefully there’ll be a shot on here soon. At least you won’t have to wait for my computer skills to catch up! £
Just to whet your appetite, she’s a genuine ‘03 Gen1 with a Forza 200 chip, PC3, Jolly’s carbon air tray, fully modded collector, 57mm throttle bodies (from an Edwards rep) plus many more!.. Can’t take any credit for any of the mods, just want some dry, salt free roads so I can go out and play!😁

This one has basically had all the right mods already done. Battery, leads, solenoid, charging loom et-al. You’re right about the mic can, it’s the slightly longer version so not the one that makes your ears bleed! Suspension was recently refreshed & set up at Mick Gardeners too.
Only thing left to do is ride it!😀
