The Return

Post by RAINMAKER »

Well, hello to old friends and new. After my failed attempts to get the yamaha xjr 1300 running i had to let it go.
Now I'm officially an old fart (retired) have the time to get back on two wheels and join in on a few runs etc.

I shall look forward to meeting everyone again

Best wishes to all


Paul

funny you say that, the guy across the street from me just returned to bikes last week and has bought one of those, changed the pipes for little cones and have to say it sounds nice, had a good look round it and they seem well screwed together :thumbup: kinda like an old bike that doesnt break down :thumbup:

A very good friend of mine has one, that's what gave me the idea :lol:
He says it's the best bike he has every owned, and he has had a fair few bikes over the years.

I'd say you summed the bike up very well Rob :clap: :clap:
