New member V Raptor 1000

Post by OkBails »

Hi all

"A ROUND FOR THE BAR PLEASE BARKEEP"

I've just bought an accident damaged V Raptor 1000 and will be bringing it back to life over the next few months or sooner. It looks like it was well looked after until the stack occurred. The front fairing on the right side was damaged so I will be resurrecting it as a naked bike for now and maybe a cafe racer winter project next year.

Nice to virtually meet you all!

I'm in Perth, Western Australia I've now updated my profile. The bike came from Queensland.

To upload pics do I first need to upload them to a site like Photobucket? or can I just upload them straight from my ipad?

Ooh a V, welcome aboard! I think the Perth subchapter (paragraph?) is probably the busiest at the moment - see http://www.raptorchapter.org.uk/viewtop ... =12&t=4330 - you'll notice we need a V to complete the set! There's also another Xtra in town, but our meets have seen rain so she's bailed, we'll need to do another when you get yours up & running. :thumbsup:
Road racing's where it's at - going round in circles all day is for hamsters.

Lookin good, mine should fit right in. Looking forward to meeting up and having a fang. I just wish Perth had more interesting roads. Like...I dunno....Stelvio Pass would be nice. The closest we have is the Zig Zag...!! :doh: Ah well, as long as it's bitumen I guess :mrgreen: (and dry)
