Hello.

Hi all.

My name is Tom & I am from south essex. I have recently become the proud owner of a 1998 in Black/Silver/Yellow trim. She is bog standered apart from a Delkevic race can with removable baffle (I also have the origonal) & sintered brake pads.
I have been back into biking for about 3 years & wanted to move up from my Bandit (which I still have). I use my :yzf: for my commute to work & for the odd fun blast through the twisties. I am absolutly loving it while at the same time still getting used to the amount of power/braking & handling that I now have.
Only scared myslef once when I grabed a handfull of front anchor & stopped so quickly that my eyeballs where squashed on the inside of my visor.
I hope to be chatting some more with you guys soon.

Hi Tom and welcome to the site :whoop:

Hi Tom

Welcome to the site.
My first bike was a Bandit too. Had my 2nd bike, also a 1998 Thundercat for nearly 6 years now and still lovin it.

Never mind getting your eyeballs crushed inside your visor it's when you crush the other ones at the tank and then your eye-balls really will hit the inside of your visor

Enjoy

Welcome to the group Tom.

Hope you enjoy your time on site, and perhaps you'll manage to get to one (or more) of the ride outs and meets we do. You'll be most welcome.

All the best
