Ok.Ok............ I admit it..................I've been a voyeur...............Over the last few years I've visited with out announcing myself................hidden :ninja: away in the back ground traffic of the site covertly gleaning your dirty secrets as you spill the beans between peers over the pain and pleasure of the forbidden fruit accessed through ownership of 1400GTR.
Warp factor 9 discs. Dodgy pannier security. Seized knobs. Flappy thing in. Flappy thing out. Pre 2010. Post 2010. Sub frame fracture. Oxidation.......................................I've been with you all the way...................But still you fail to put me off and keep all that pleasure for yourselves.
The final nail in the coffin was a weekend trip to cast my young thigh across that there throbbing motorcycle combined with a life changing event and my discovery of pictures of Mass Mastication within this site !!!! Yes that's right Mass Mastication of Beer and Big Breakfasts on the 2012 Meet. (Who did nick the Beer.....surely not that nice young lady glass collector?)
Enough of this waffle :listencarefully:

Welcome along Charlie, I'm sure the 'bosses. will be along to greet you soon, too.
I find this forum, to be great fun with plenty of invaluable info.
So you've followed this forum for years and you still bought a green one..... Really?!?! Didn't you fancy a quick one??
:mfr_lol:
Thanks for the prompt welcome my friend...............I did wonder how long it would be before the dark side of the force made contact and tried to turn my head to the alleged prowess of THE BLACK ONES !!!!!
To protect myself from such temptation :tank: I've gone for the luckiest colour ................That would be Green and then reinforced it by ensuring the registration plate has that winning number 13 in it :gun_bandana:
Many years ago when in the trade we used to tell the boys that out of the 2 colour options (red / blue) on a Suzuki AP50 the red ones were faster.............Why you ask.....................Well Fire engines are fast and they are red :mfr_lol:
Trust my humour is acceptable as being a forum virgin would hate my 1st time to be my last time.
I personally found the open and frank discussion on site invaluable as an aid to making the purchasing decision . I feel I know my baby (ref Debs) before purchase and have prior knowledge of short coming of the product.............The big thing is you all say 1400GTR = FUN .............and even though running in I'm grinning from ear to ear.

Yo' and welcome to the asylum Charlie, so you're a lurker are ya, well I suppose there are worse things to be in life....like being the owner of a GTR that isn't GREEN. :yes:
If you've lurked around here long enough and have paid attention you will no doubt be aware that I no longer have my stunning GREEN GTR, it was a decision based on practicality and personal requirements
You will be familiar with how helpful, friendly and enjoyable this forum can be and I've no doubt that you will also be able to participate in some of the friendly banter (read piss taking) that is such a highlight of this forum :mfr_lol:
Welcome Charlie
What a colour combination, a yeller belly on a green bike!!!!!!!
Are you true yellow, or living there by accident?
I am the otherside of the border in Norfolkcestershire fenland
Alright boy. ( said in the finest s.lincs accent) a very poetic and witty introduction. So, you're from Poland? Good colour choice and I heard that about the red AP 50's. used to get thrashed on my fizzy by one all the time on the Lincolnshire roads where I grew up. I take it you had a bike immediately before this one? Interesting to read that you got one despite all the faults you had spied ever read about first. Not sure if I would have. Nonetheless, welcome mate and hope you enjoy it.
Welcome Charlie..
So you are a voyeur? :whistling: :innocent:
Do I go on to much talking about baby? :mfr_lol:
As you have realised you have bought the best bike but in the wrong colour.. :oops:. :mfr_lol:
Some trips for coffee just have to be done
Bike looks good. That railing however, could do with a coat of paint!
Charlie welcome along to the forum and of course congratulations on your choice of two wheeled fun.
There's a couple of us up in Scotland at the moment enjoying the persistent rain and high winds, who needs sunshine eh?
Have fun on your new steed.
:oops: I got that last post wrong !!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to all your welcomes.
I will try to answer the questions posed
1 Siverback................News on the street is that Green is the new Black............Check out ZG's :biker3:
2 olde coney...............Respect is due for your colour choice and even changing model rather than being taken to the Dark Side of The Force...............That pic of your forma love is understated quality my friend.
3 doebag....................Like your style thinking outside the box man.............Yellow Belly :mfr_lol:
Not native but been here most of life................Will I need a Visa to get past Guyhurn or Long Sutton ? I'm just up the road from you in Bourne.................May be road trip time :banana:
4 Rossendale Rider..............Nice to catch up with fellow Lincs Lad......................So the news got out........................Boston is the new Poland :mfr_lol: Was in the trade years ago so coming back after 12yr rest . Looked at all the sexy race reps but due to a C food :popcorn: diet found the fuel tanks had convex radius when I need concave...............looked at cruiser.........still feel the need for speed............adventure bike............not ready to borrow Elton Johns platform boots..........1400GTR hits the right compromise for my needs as they are today...........Fast / Fun / Flexible. + I can fit the thing lol :smiley: Yep at the price of Ace Café coffee they should be painted daily lol
5 Debs............"So you are a voyeur? :whistling: :innocent:"............Do I need to be?...........My lady therapist told me to go public and come out of the closet.............am I not on The United Introvert site ? :oops:...............That Baby of yours looks armoured to the hilt with an arm chair saddle.....Hard Street Talk with a soft comforting heart.............I love the flower power
6 Lonewolf...................O Master I'm unworthy to breath the air you exhale.......Is Bourne in the North or should I relocate nearer to Wick O Wise and all powerful Master ? I'm just sucking up for you to award my efforts with a :clap:....I'm up on business tomorrow Glasgow then Perth Inverness Elgin Aberdeen so weather is good up north then my friend, That west coast blow me away when I first did a Fort William to Glasgow run. :smiley:

With a bit of planning, it might even happen this year.
Charlie, after the Schengen agreement on cross border travel the Little Chef/border control at Guyhirn got turned in to a sex shop, but they still lift the bridge at Sutton Bridge, to stop more northerners crossing, when Hunstanton is full up!

OK Men...............it sounds as if we are on for a meet..............a meet of the Big Sky Flat Fen Bomber Counties Chapter of the GTR forum. :ninja:
Or should that be Team Green on Manoeuvers :tank: (Bit concerned that StokeTim has not revealed to me if he's from the Dark Side lol)
Or as an alternative to the Nuff / Saff divide ............we could offer "The Only Way is East" ???? :mfr_lol:
Should we meet or do a USA Tour without leaving the region i.e. Denver New York and Boston (Poland)
The mid way point for us guys will probably be a beet field in Chatteris Fen :help:
Your thoughts ?

Hi StokeTim
Silver................Is that not the most superior shade of that dark colour we dare not mention ?
I recon you're right it will provide contrast for the photo shoot when we do a meet up with doebag :mfr_lol:
Any thoughts on when and were?
Cheers
Charlie

BTW... The seat I have is a Corbin and is in 2 parts... Got it from the states and it was not cheap... I really like the look of it but its not the comfiest seat out there.. Its bloody hard... I do tend to get a numb bum after about an hour... I may swap it in the future or get a Airhawk on top of it....
