Welcome to the fold.
nice lookin bike you have there mate. welcome in :D
the front wheel looks to be a 17 inch :wink:
welcome to the addiction
welcome aboard 8)
Hello and welcome.
thanks for the welcome everyone :D well i picked the bike up today and didnt realise how high the thing is, so ill be lowering it on monday anyway as i said picked up the bike today and the quick 60 mile trip home turned into a 170 mile trip 8) . its the first triple i have owned and i must admit that the engine noise takes some getting used to, the bike overall is great although i do need to run some carb cleaner through the system as it does pop and backfire a bit. But the bike has only 74 miles in the last 18 months so just needs a bit of a clean up.
Welcome aboard mate !
She's lookin'good......oh and the pops you do not wanna get rid off 8) 8)
Welcome, you'll need therapy and however it transpired you found the right place.
I'm always surprised when I hear about lower milage finds that haven't been ridden for ages, personally I find it like an itch that has to be scratched. Nice, even if it is a slower clour :wink:
Just what went through my mind Mustang.
