Hi Everyone! Raptor Newbe Here!
Hi Everyone! Raptor Newbe Here!
Hi,
My names Ethen im 21 from thetford in norfolk.
Recently got my self a raptor 1000, first italian bike ive owned as ive always been into my gixxa's and other suzuki's and yamaha's ect.
I have only rode my raptor once as the first time i rode it i hit diesel at about 100mph lol...so the bike aint pretty no more and is in bits and im in the process of building her agian which is always good fun! but i did walk away some how so thats an upside.
Ive got some parts already from a current Raptorchapter member so it should be back on the road sooner then i had intended.
Anyway i look foward to seeing what this forum has to offer and look foward to getting to know you all.
P.S feel free to call me by my nickname if you wish as it is much more humorous. (Fanny)

Welcome in Ethen996
rum and beechams please
zorst seals - buy suzuki TL1000 ones, cheaper than Cagiva and they do the job.

Re: Hi Everyone! Raptor Newbe Here!
Hi Fanny.
Sorry to hear about the prang; hope you get everything fixed soon. I see you binned the Rap on your first ride. Was it actually your bike on this first ride or were you obliged to buy it because you trashed somebody else's? If so, fate's smiled on you - you've got a really good bike.
