Title: Hello from FNQ
Post by: Keeper on Wednesday, 25 September 2024, 10:12 PM
Hi all, I'm from "Down Under" in Australia.

I Bought my "power lady:" GSX1400 Final Edition new back in 2008-9, bout then, divorce present. About 50,000km on it, never a spanner on it apart from spark plugs, oil change, air filter and a Yoshi tri-oval-end can.

This is the best and last bike I will own. A real-world bike with no bullshit tacked on.

My semi-retirement is now, and I will enjoy making her as good as she can be whilst preserving her character. And riding her more.

I like to keep her original except for Genuine Yoshimura Bolt Ons and ECU to tune it. All whilst keeping the same torque curve that makes me look like I can ride, with more stonk everywhere, all original parts kept wrapped up.

Parts in the shed Yoshi 4 into 1 titanium, Yoshi ST1 cams.

I don't do forums, Facebook etc., -until now (just this forum) so apologies from a Luddite.

Cheers
Matt

Gidday Matt, welcome to the forum. You've done a very good intro for someone who doesn't do forums or facebook. 

I've split your intro into it's own thread though. (you just start a new thread / topic if you're not contributing to the original topic)

 :cheers:
