Hi just thought I'd say hello from the UK,I've been on a few FZR forums for a few years now but sadly one is closing down

It means "Hello old chap (Bodge), how are you?"
There are lots of accents & odd words in the UK ,some easier to understand than others. Thanx for the warm welcome folks.

Alright there!
Talking abour East Yorkshire I was born in Cleethorpes, North Lincs, so I've ridden around East Yorkshire a fair bit. Nice place. We all moved away though. My brother lives in Harrogate, North Yorks, and my sister near London. I came to Spain 13 years ago and never looked back.
Nice thing about this forum is how we're all of us, from all over the place. South Africa, Australia, Philippeans, and of course Canada plus loads more. I think there's even one guy from the States. Keeps it fresh.
Hope you soon feel at home here.
Have a cup of tea (and some beers
) on me.
John

I'm in Beverley, about 10 miles west of Hull (although I do work in Hull), are you anywhere close? :cool
Hey John, North Lincs had some fine roads until our state police flooded them with speed cameras!!!
I think you made the right move going out to Spain, although I'm sure you miss the blasts to Cadwell park just down the road.

Beverley: Burgess Ice Cream! Ummmm.
Cadwell: Magic!
Speed cameras... prefer them to the speed bumps (read: Hump-back whales across the road) they use here as well as cameras. My girlfriend almost went off the back last year on a speed bump I hit at 70mph (unmarked, unpainted and well after the last house in town).

Yeah them speed bumps are getting everywhere ,you can really crack yer tackle on the tank if yer not careful. Hmmm Burgess ice cream still available but it ain't the same since old Mr Burgess died..

Ah Driffield I've abused my tyres a few times on the 3 roundabouts near the show ground there!!
Yeh I agree the ice cream has gone down hill :sad - I just stick to drinking beer now!!
Look forward to seeing some pic's of your bike so that I can watch out for you!!

Having some trouble with this photo bucket m'larky (yeah i'm PC thick),its a pity there is no link for image shack, the exup1000 site has a direct link just copy & paste so much better no need to sign up to the shack either.Anybody have an email address i can send some pics to so they can post 'em for me?
