another soon to be happy owner

Hi team.

Just a quick back ground. I work for a distributor & have run in 5 B Kings in the past. I recently sold my ex championship winning GSX-R1000K5 that I used as a road bike because I'm getting old & fat!
(bit sick of trying to ride it around slowly with AH coppers trying to save my life too...)

I had that GSX-R for about 6 years & planned to keep it forever (199.5 ponies at the rear wheel will do that to you   ). In the time I had it the only other Suzuki I ever rode that I thought "gee I could own this", was a B-King!

Well turns out one was 'found' at work with a compliance plate on it & 20klms on the clock. It was put up for tender so I snaffled it.

I plan to hang around here a bit, but don't contribute much due to my job, but hope to pick the brains a bit of the members on the forum for some of the after market gooodies that people have fitted.

Cheers to all.

Your in the right please

I'm guessing to "snaffle" is a good thing. Welcome.

Woo hoo another "local" Welcome aboard...

Hi Wayne, fellow newcomer!

Had a brief visit to the Perth area last year and can certainly see why you would want a Bking...space to spare and a climate that global warming might one day bring us in the UK!!

Enjoy (he said through gritted teeth).
