Hello everybody i thought i would come on and say hi:)

I have recently purchased a 999s but not had much time to ride it since buying it as an old git not looking pulled out on me on my gixer:sniff: but when i have been out its been fantastic. So if there are any recomendations any of you can give me for setting the shockers up would be good :roll: or any other advice welcomed.

And i am from sunny old Watford so if there's anyone close that fancys meeting for a ride out:D

A BHC is a group of like-minded, free-spirited individuals, committed to exploring both the potential of their motorcycles and of themselves.

You know - nutjobs!

Sensible answer coming soon (I predict).
