greetings from Lincoln :-)

Hi guys

been pottering on here for a few years but never been on a forum before as a member so bear with me!!

am from lincoln, home to some of the best roads in england and iv been stomping them for 20 years now, 10 of them on monsters, started on a 600, soon needed that extra grunt tho n got me a 900, loved it to bits, till i got overtaken round cadwell park by an S4!! the noise it made as it shot past me coming out of the mountain complex turned me on!! a week later and i got me 1!! had it since 2003, and still love it to bits!

She's now running with a 996 lump, arrow pipes, DP ECU + K&N, open airbox, with loads of little tweaks round engine like losing the horrid plastic water tank and moving elecs under seat

god this is turning into an essay!!!!! sorry folks,

anyway, iv done loads of stuff and defo put in the hours, will sort some pics out when i can suss out wot to do (my mrs does all this photo stuff for me!)

would love some feedback on me bike, dont know anyone round here into dukes......

Welcome to the club. I'm on the Cambs Lincs border and sometimes venture over for some of those Lincs roads you speak of.
We have an annual weekender meet at the Arrow Mill, a good place to put faces to names.
There will be a few of us attending the Buell V Twin day at East Kirkby which is in your neck of the woods.
