(Photos to come) This is my first BIG bike and i love it Never joined a Bike Forum before, so what is it i should do on here, apart from introducing myself? Thanks Lee

Hi Lee, Welcome. That's a nice looking D6 . Just thought I'd say... Never joined a Bike Forum before, so what is it i should do on here, apart from introducing myself? Usual practice is to arrange a pub meet-up where the beers are on you, then we all get a go playing on your D6 around the pub car park . ...... or why not come along to one of the runs already arranged instead, they're good fun but without the drunken ragging of someone else's bike ?

Never joined a Bike Forum before, so what is it i should do on here, apart from introducing myself? Thanks Lee Take the p1ss out of the admin team & bring up politics,religion, sexual practices & powder coating at every opportunity. Try to get n4naked (wullie) out of his shell. And always always always post where you come from so other members can come round for tea,coffee, soft or hard drinks,borrow tools & sometimes lend you a hand with repairs or at least advice while partaking of of the offered victuals. Other than that just enjoy yourself & welcome. Neil

Hi goldie Welcome to the site from a fellow newbie and congratulations on passing the test. I have done a fair bit of riding in S. Wales (relatives in Gloucester) and envy you. Fantastic bike riding country. Your bike looks really nice, I like the blue You say you want a new screen. Do you mean a taller screen? I fitted a taller screen when I had an XJ900 years ago and liked it. I will shortly be buying an Ermax flip screen for my XJ600. This is the link to an Ermax retailer www.demonbikes.com/more/on/details/13329 they are selling it for £57.40 inc p&p. They do them in a range of colours and tints.

Hi goldie Welcome to the site from a fellow newbie Your bike looks really nice, I like the blue ;D 1: but how about a taller screen?
2: If you keep the original you could always spray it black.Hello and welcome to you too, thanks for your kind words 1:I would love a taller screen to be honest with you, i just cant find them for my bike, or I'd have one on there now (maybe I'm not looking hard enough) 2: I have considered spraying it as I've seen others do it on Youtube, But i want to put a camera behind the screen to record my ride-outs , if i can't find a screen then i will definitely spray it. Thanks Goldie
