Hello, Should have done this ages ago, oops!

Post by aces-high »

Hi All, I've been registered on the forums for a year now and even though chipping in on a few threads I never got round to saying Hello :wave:
I read far more than I say and have gathered a great deal of info ( and laughs ) from you all and have a long list of mods to do. I'v got a fairly standard 2000 F-X in BLUE ( by far the best colour) :clap:
A set of Krieger tensioners are in the post as I type and a sub loom is waiting at the post office, just need to order some stick coils.

I do have some questions that I'll post in the appropriate areas in future.
I'm up near wet and windy Manchester on the edge of the Pennines and very handy for the twisty's. Hopefully get to met up for some ride-outs/meets next year although I will point out I'm unashamedly a fair weather rider ( bikes are a hobby and I hate getting wet n' cold ) and fat and slow too boot :lol:

Cheers Ian.

Oh dear, a yellow one, you poor soul. We are setting up a therapy area on the forum to allow those afflicted with this sad complaint to receive help and advice.
We are hoping that after a few sessions of therapy owners of yellow VTR's may be able to be returned to the wild.
Oh and welcome along mate, from another salad dodger!!

Sorry Kev, you've misunderstood my dodgy prose :oops: it was in reply to AMCQ46's post, knowing he has a yellow ( vanilla ) one. mine's blue, thats blue lets have it right from the start NOT yellow, Never yellow, anything but yellow.
Thanks for the welcome mate.

In that case you are warmly welcome my old china. And may I congatulate you on a very wise selection of motorcycle.
