Default Happy with myself.

Hi all,
Been a member for a while now but as a newbie didn't really have much to say. Been riding for a under a year and have well and truly caught the bug. Have been out most of the weekend and enjoyed many country roads with a couple of mates.
Today i have accomplished wot to you may seem a little and simple thing to do but to me its a major step to becoming a real biker..... I've just fitted new spark plugs and checked me air box . The enjoyment i got was so great that hopefully i will be attempting my first oil change. Wish me luck.
Hope to join the forum more often now so see you all soon

Hello mate! Dosnt matter if you havn't got much to say, most of us talk complete crap anyway

Hey! Thats more than I've done; I checked my rad fluid levels and fitted a Givi Monorack all by myself. But I get my dad to do everything else (but I do try and learn with him) because he;s a qualified mechanic, he'll shout at me if I stuff it up!

Yellow curvy = good choice of machine

Bonjourno!

Oil (& filter) change is surprisingly easy to do! Get stuck right in!

Don't forget that used engine oil can be used on your compost heap! ;o)










probably.
