Say hello to the newest member of my garage. YZF-R1

[Apis]

You could tour on that okay....Nick Sanders went round the world on one. I think it was same year/ model as yours.
I saw him on it at the NW200 and it looked class, all dirty and hardcore.

 

[warren]

I've done a few reasonable length trips on it to be fair, with only moderate bum/wrist/back pain lol

Had it at the MOT today.... it may have got the most dirty it's ever been in my whole ownership. Actually washed it in the rain when I got home.

Like damn look at this wheel

 

[BirchesBiker]

Looks mean as hell

 

[warren]

So it's now been joined by number 2 (excuse the mess in the garage)

Trying to persuade myself that I need both of them now.

 

[warren]

So moved house, both up here now with the help of @Ceebl. Just need to get the garage cleaned out so they aren't stuffed in the corner!

 

[BirchesBiker]

How do you like the tracer?

 

[warren]

Still patiently waiting for spring so I can bring this beast out again. Don’t think it’s moved since about the end of October!

@BirchesBiker didnt see this comment! Absolutely love it, fantastic all rounder, much better suited to our road conditions than the R1 is anyway that’s for sure!

Finally had it out today. Gobsmacked as always.

 

[warren]

Metal polish, beer and an R1 to clean. Not a bad Friday night!

After

Molly out providing moral support too

Glad it’s done though, was long overdue!

Autosol is the shiznit

Gave it a bit of a shine last night, sad to say but it hasn’t moved in quite a while. Need to make my mind up on what I want to do with it!

It’s a beautiful ornament at the minute, not that that’s a bad thing!
