Hello everyone, just thought id say howdie and introduce myself. Name is Marc and im from the outer suburbs of melbourne.I usually ride a 01 YZF-R1. White/blue with a couple of mods, custom extractors and custom exhaust which leads to a custom undertail yoshi pipe, -1 +1 sproket sizes, front brembos, jetted carbie and full tune...Love it...untill.............came of the bike due to some uninsured idiot that shouldnt have a licence.......damaged left side fairiings and engine cover,rear tail-gone - handelbars-gone, fuel tank hmmmmmm dinted, that I could live with, and i lived because I was wearing leathers and no oncomming traffic too....but worst of all....a bent frame. :( So now I have no bike only a wreck, and have had this wreck for over a year, which i am now thinking of bringing back to life.. My mate told me to scope this site out as everyone is pretty friendly and willing to help, so if anyone could that would be great, so I can start riding again.....miss it soo much....Thanks for having me..

After a quick calculation 1.3% of members are at the AFR.

Agreed, but nearer 70% of members who post on a regular basis.

Welcome aboard Marc. Have you had the frame looked at, you'd be amazed at what can be straightened.
