Zato Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hi Everyone, I'm Marcus from up T'North Manchester, I say Oldboy (not that old really) coz I've been in the bike trade for what feels like forever.... probably should have joined this community a while back but, all things considered, you could say I was later than most where the internet is concerned, if that makes sense? Having bought another Yamaha recently I was hoping for a little advice in regards to an accessory but I won't mention that yet as I'm here to simply say Hi! I've owned a lot of different bikes over the last 20 years (all Jap apart from a new SYM last month), there are still bikes out there that I would love to own, Dragstar 650 next would be good, wanted a Firestorm, a V-Strom or mid range Varadero for ages - I had a yam Genesis a while back that I just could not get along with... it was a fine example just handled like a brick, scared me actually lol Last year I came across a reet gem of a 125 XVS (my first potential cruiser initiation) hidden away and covered in grease in some old fella's garage, proper low mileage and If I hadnt have blagged him that I wanted it for the missus for a birthday present, he would not have sold it to me. As bad as I feel about the blag, it's a crying shame to have a 11 year old showroom condition bike just stuck behind a couple of lawnmowers in someones garage!! Where I work, we are a multi franchised dealer and hopefully I could be of use to some of you out there that may need parts availability or information that you would not trust other bike shops to give you - the only two manufacturers I'd struggle with would be Ducati or BMW I guess - and just dont ask me about Ching Dingers or Lifans! So... soz for the waffle, You'll find i'm like that lol Now I'm too impatient and I'm gonna find a part of this site that may offer help in regards to this accessory I'm after - peace all, hopefully I can actually contribute to someone's needs some time in the future!
