Title: oh goodness - what have I done????
Post by: silver-rider on July 27, 2013, 07:15:42 PM
Dear all,

My name is Max and I've just got me-self another 1400GTR....

many many many years ago, I owned one of the first 1400GTRs in the UK [2007] - and I loved it to bits.  I was gutted when I had to sell my old bike - but it is with a good home.  Having 'toyed' with a Versys 650 and 1000 - I eventually got a 'new' 2011 bike [it has been sitting in the crate for 2 years] - from Robinsons in Rochdale.

So - I'm back - and yes....for those who remember, I did run the original 1400gtr.org.uk forum....I have no interest in going there again.  Glad to be back.

Max

Welcome back Max, I am. Running my 2007 GTR and still luv it to bits.

So ....... how long will it be this time until you start the over heating epic you had last time?  Lol

I still have fond memories of the run to the Ace cafe, and being part of the squadren of GTR's all heading there together.

It's great to have you back.

Max,  :185: I've heard a lot about you, all positive I promise.
Good to have you along, I also had an 07 GTR (black) & now have a magnesium one, 11 plate. What is it with everyone on here getting these damn Versys things? :mfr_lol:

Good to see the pull of a GTR runs deep................2 years in a crate.............. Wow  I don't think I'm strong enough to resist the temptation that long.

Welcome Max

I was at the Ace that year you all turned up I think. I had gone on my Z1100, but remember a group of GTR's that I had a mooch round. First time I had been close to one and even then I thought  'great looking bike, but what the f.ck is that glove box thing on the tank!'

opps , looks like a 1 post wonder, never signed back in since the day he posted this, I find that unusual that someone does not come back on to see answers to their post ?

Max is Max. He'll be back when he's ready.
Not everyone has verbal diarrhoea like some on here.  :taz:  :mfr_lol:
Besides, he's probably busy working and riding.
