Hi everyone, just joined and learning how to navigate the forum! Have 696 and 796, both great bikes and looking forward to learning more - and reading some interesting stuff as I go along.

Welcome on board

Welcome aboard. If you've already got a 696 and 796, you just need the 1100 for the full set!

Any mods? Pictures please...

Oh! Please sir, I know this one, we bought a secondhand car from Eddie Wright in Scvnthorpe.

Hello and welcome Bluestone.. Sometimes the silly censor just draws unwanted attention!

Hello from a Lincs lad - nowhere near Sc√nthorpe though. Miss riding the roads round the wolds.

I've always been to scruffy to be a mod

You no longer have to use substitutions to type "Scunthorpe", I found the censorship setting and fixed it

Hi, nearly there with the full set but don't know about 1100! No big mods on 696, just renthals and chunkier grips - and I've re-added the tail! No more coming home covered in Lincolnshire road mud. 796 is Anniversary model. I'd be interested to see everyone's bikes to see what's possible though; I think some mods are better than others.

I do like the anniversary models - one of the better special editions. Most of the mods on my Evo can be applied to the smaller models. Have a look here and see if anything takes your fancy:

By the way, if you've still got your tail tidy, stick it in the "For Sale" section - I'm sure there's someone on here who could use it.
