'Sup ^_^

Post by SilverWings »

Hey guys, newbie here. I got handed a card by a guy at work I hardly speak to (and who's name I unfortunately don't know, I'm *really* bad at names) and thought I'd have a look. I'm 22, live in Plymouth, and own the tattiest Bandit ever, but she's my baby and gets me to work and back. I had a GPZ500s, it was an amazing bike, dream to handle but unfortunately I got a total lemon that broke down every other day. I'd love to get another one but for now I have the bandit and she's never let me down. Not sure what else to say so any questions, post away lol.

Here's mah bandit a few years back, she's not nearly so shiny now. Needs a clean and re-paint but I just don't have the time.

Here she is now, we were having some fun while her tyres were being replaced. Didn't turn out as easy as we hoped, took the wheel off to find the sprocket assembly bearing had exploded in the near past.

Image

And just in the spirit of sharing, here's my first bike Helga. She was only a 125 but she was the best bike ever and I miss her. She just wasn't up to the miles I do each day :/

Welcome to the site. I'm just returning from a long sabbatical but from what I remember they are a friendly bunch of nutters (in some cases, not all lol)

Hello and welcome :-h
I refuse to enter into a battle of wits against someone who is unarmed.

It's better to remain silent and be thought of as a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.
