Re: 10 years
Bought mine new when the W plate came out March 2000, still love it to bits, just can't help but giggle to myself
when riding it! rest of my mates have had 4 or 5 other bikes in that time and are always moaning about them so
I reckon I made a good choice

Had mine for seven years now. It rocks. Only just put bellypan on. Longest and best relationship I've ever had. Did stray yesterday by looking at a ZX10R but for ten grand, i think not. Storm all the way. Good effort on ten years though. Love to see the pics.... 
Love to see the pics....

Re: 10 years
upload your pic to imageshack, then paste the direct link between the [img] brackets when you click the img tab above (when you're posting)
if it's too big you can resize it when you upload to imageshack, or use microsoft image resizer (free)

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Use the image resizer as you've uploaded hires images - then Take the 'direct' link to the image and paste it between the img code

viola (resizing does alter the wavelength of light so it can subtly 'stretch' the colours)

Re: 10 years
according to the V5, I bought mine 29-9-2000, so not 10yrs ...............yet.
Like you, it still makes me smile when I ride it.......the noise, the torque, the character..... and even though I have tried a blade on the race track with the Ron Haslam race school, I know I cant be trusted with that kind of power on the public roads..........nearly 50 and still no self control!
Anyway, my view is that you have the most fun when you are on the edge of control, so you are better having a bike with lower limits, it will only get very messy otherwise!
