Hi all. Not so new to the forum as i joined a few months ago. Its taken me this long to log in again as i forgot my password. Tried resetting but the stupid word thing got the better of me. You type in what it says but its never right. Ended up creating a new profile.
Anyway... my name is mark and i live in Wednesbury, west midlands (just off junction 9 M6). Owned my FZ8 for around a year now and love it to bits. I bought it new and got a cracking deal. It came with the full dress up kit ie: akro carbon can, seat cowl, fly screen, bottom fairing, tail tidy and dinky winkers all for £6995 OTR. Since ive had the bike i have fitted renthal bars in black, titax stubby levers in black and a few stickers here and there.
I have owned bikes nearly all my life including RD400, CX500, Xl500, Tl1000r, triumph bonni, triumph tr6, Zx7r tracker. I opted for the FZ8 as i fealt the riding position would be more confy for me as i have trouble with my wrists (both broken in accidents during track days) I love bike racing of any kind but motogp is my main passion.
I work as a tech op at Nestle in Tutbury. I see a few of you guys are from around that area so hopefully get to meet up for some ride outs in the summer.
I hope this gives you some idea about me and hopefully get to know you all in time.
Cheers, Mark
