Title: Hello! Short time reader, first time poster.
Post by: Benjah on Saturday, 03 June 2023, 08:22 PM
Hi all! My name's Benjamin but good looking people with beautiful motorbikes call me benjah, let's see how many of you there are out there.
The knowledge that I lack(and I do), I make up for in willingness to learn. So Im here to soak it all in.
Heres a couple pics of my bike, passed down from father to son hence the new paint on the old bike. He bought a newer model and swapped the blue for his black bits. I've made a few little changes, nothing crazy
Im from Bedfordshire and I'm 33.

Hi Benjah, welcome to the forum, great to have you here.  Anything you want to know about the GSX1400 is here & available through threads and downloads, happy hunting. 

Your bike looks smart, :onya:  it'd be loud with that stubby muffler, what is it?  25cm?  I've got a 30 on one of mine & that's got a decent voice, yours looks shorter though.

Hey Tony if you're on here then your atleast 50% there! Maybe you can call me Benj'  :laugh:

Well thanks all for the warm welcome!

I've already scratched the surface in the the forums, reading about some pipe dreams like upside down forks and some other not so pipe dreams like the well structured cleaning routine. I'm currently in a flat at the moment but am moving to a house soon , all going well, and looking forward to be able to polish and clean as and when I like! (Providing the other half has had the 3 week hand written request form signed and dated)

Your bike looks smart, :onya:  it'd be loud with that stubby muffler, what is it?  25cm?  I've got a 30 on one of mine & that's got a decent voice, yours looks shorter though.
