Ozzy Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Hi Folks, I joined this forum back in 2005 when I used to ride a Fazer 600 which I used to commute the 2 hour ride to work, and the 2 hour ride back at the end of the day. I no longer work at that location so for my 30th birthday a couple of years back I chopped my Fazer in for the 2004 model blue R1 and not looked back since. No major tweak, just got a nice tail tidy with a half height number plate at the rear and a new bubble screen. Oh yes and I replaced the passenger seat for a colour matched cover, the rest is as factory spec. Not taken it on track yet, but maybe one day!

bravo13 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I just joined a month or so ago, but also got an email. I ride a 1982 Maxim 750J. I just got it this spring and absolutely love it. In the last 3 months, I have put over 1100 km on it. And I haven't gone anywhere. I work from home, so I don't commute. I just love getting on it and running in to the city to have coffee with a friend, or run to my dad's house. Anyways, good to be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chc Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 and another email responder. I think this is my first ever posting here so I'll tell you all a bit about my biking stuff. I have a MT-03 which I use for commuting and a 91 TZ250 with 96 spec barrels and pistons that needs some TLC. Moving shortly (if the conveyance gets sorted) and a bare frame rebuild is planned for it. Still can't quite decide whether to run it after the rebuild or retire it and stick it in my study. First bike was a Yamaha MX80 in 1971 I think. I've had a variety of Yamahas over the years together with a good few Hondas including a VF1000R, VF750F and an RC30. Other off-road bikes have included Honda CRs, Yamaha YZs and a Suzuki RM - all 125s or 250 2-strokes and all many years ago. The MT-03 was purchased to get me back into road bikes as the VF750F was my last road bike in about 1997-99 and I need to rebuild a no claims bonus for the MV Agusta (750 F4) I have promised myself one day. I really like the MT-03. Reasonable handling, acceptable brakes and cheap to run (insure and fuel). I like its looks too. I was looking for something a bit different to fit a commuting role - about 27 miles each way roughly half or which is 70 mph dual carriageway and the rest city centre traffic. It fits that bill perfectly. Just for the record I also have a Suzuki VJ23 250SP which is my present weekend toy and I would really like a tourer for longer runs. I also hope to get back into off-roading and fancy doing some Hare and Hounds enduros eventually. Present pref would be for a KTM or Yamaha enduro of some sort. Is 6 bikes too much for one individual at a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1Mad Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hi all, got the same e-mail, I’ve been popping back now and then but never posted, sounds and looks like a great bunch of people on here, I've been riding on and off for the last 12 years, starting from a little 50cc and working my way up to my beloved 2000 R1 which I've had for the last 3 years, WHAT A BIKE!!!!.
