Hi
Beeblemaster,
thanks for the welcome, you should try and have another go at the cx/gl club site it's very good now! I to have an imported US Custom, which has had various mods.
Bit disapointing with the welcome here don't you think? should I have another go at saying 'hello' on the 'general' page?
Regards
Jim

Sorry you're dissapointed with the welcome - I think you're on to something though - the general board may get a warmer reponse - I for one haven't checked this board in months !
Regarding your impending purchase, a 900 Div would make a superb commuter - comfortable, reasonable weather protection, easy to maintain and good value for money. Not cool and trendy perhaps, but a well ridden 900 will easily outperform a badly ridden race replica.
Loads of luggage options, and tons of expertise on this site - so browse away and ask if you can't find your answers - someone always seems to know .
Despite 1st impressions, most of the members are mostly harmless (quite mad, but mostly harmless)
Welcome
Roger

I am just down the road from you in Largs; and used to work in Greenock, so I know the area pretty well; and thanks to my previous job, I know some of the Greenock pests as well! I know another girl who is doing that MacMillan cancer relief run (Sandra, who has a VFR400 and is married to Frank, who has a Fireblade...both from Greenock). Give us a shout on here if you are heading down this direction any time.. Al. |

26 years? beats me - I was away for 16 years. Gordy wins the prize though - he was away for 34 years. PS - welcome PPS - I'm in Strathaven, as is Pooh. |

Sounds like El Fuego and Pooh won't be the only pair of t*ts on the Jock run ;D Dave ;D That's another to add to the list Mr Fiasco. I feel some Photoshopping coming in your direction. Mags - Hello and welcome to the farm. Don't try and follow half of what goes on here or your ears will start to bleed. I've been here for years and I still get a headache trying to make sense of some of the sometimes sadly deluded club members who live south of the Border. Having said that we're generally a very helpfull bunch so if you've got any bike probs just shout. If you are going to be in the Fort William area when we're up it woudl be a blast to get both groups together in the pub. We should have between 40 & 50 people from our end. Pooh |
