Hello from Kent!
Hello from Kent!
Hi all,
Bought myself a nice, clean 2001 Raptor last weekend in yellow!
Haven't really had a chance to take her out yet as weather has been terrible. Looking forward to a blast this weekend hopefully!!
Completely standard (apart from cans) but planning on doing a few bits to make it mine!
Cheers,
Josh
P.S. What ya all having then?!

Welcome JJT. Mines a pint of Doombar please.
We cant be a million miles from each other so, as soon as I get my Raptor back together maybe we can meet up sometime.

Hi JJT
New here myself, and also from Kent. Which end of Kent are you at? Lovely bike, nice cans. Must sound very well.
Glass of red for me!

So it's you that's keeping the weather so bloody cold, then!JJT wrote:55 years ago Looking forward to a blast this weekend hopefully!!
There was one day two or three weeks ago when the temperature was quite mild. I tried to go on-line to tax Rappie, only to discover that I had never received the latest red V5C (or whatever the log book is now called). So I couldn't do it. Ever since then it has been bloody cold, so I saved a few quid there. Now I've got the document I'm beginning to wonder if I will be taxing the bike before June!
Rambling, as usual.
Anyway, welcome to the home of the best kept secret (and probably the broadest grins) in motorcycling.

Took the bike out this weekend. It's a fun little thing! Came from a Bandit 600 and it is much more fun than that in the bends. Inspires confidence and will hopefully help me improve my riding.
The cans are epic! Possibly looking at getting some high level ones though as like the look of them going under the saddle. Thoughts?
