Madison Motorsport Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Hiya peeps Just thought I would say hello as it seemed rude not to Anyway, I have filled in my 'about me' page so I am not going to bother writing it all out again. I have been a Yamaha nut ever since I was old enough to reach the bike mags on the shelf. The first bike I saw in a magazine was the newly released Yamaha FZ750 and I have been hooked ever since My first ever bike was a Yamaha FZR400RR at 14. Purely car park and industrial estate riding, I never managed to fully appreciate the bike I bought a brand new R1 in 1998 (certified as number 137 off the production line), but I was only ever a passenger I've had about 30 different bikes in the last ten years including a 1999 Thundercat from brand new until it's theft last Christmas, a 2005 R6, an FZR600, and several Kawasakis plus my only Honda - a 2003 CBR600RR, the worst bike I have ever ridden. After my insurance payout on the Thundercat, I ended up seeing a 1996 Thunderace, completely mint, that I paid £800 for (the guy in the garage owed me a huge favour). It is by far the best all round road bike I have come across and I can see me replacing it with another one if I can't afford an FJR for mile munching in comfort.
