Hello out there

Post by Alginon »

Another one to the masses... hi all

Came across this site looking for deals on ZXR400 and thought id drop in to say hi.
I'm 17, currently on a CBR125, looks/sounds great (at 8000+) but theres basically zero pulling power. Nice learner bike though.

After passing my test a few weeks ago, and getting my shiny new bit of plastic, i've had my heart set on an L9 model.
Was either that or an NC30 (engine noise... :smt007 ) but looks won me over.
Biggest bike i've ridden is a fully tricked out SP-1 (ohlins/carbon everything) that my dad rode in his last racing days. What a bike...

Anyway how the hell do you get avatars down to 6kb while still at 100x100?? smallest i can get mine is just under 10kb. When it is 6kb the picture is no bigger than this full stop . <--

Leet skills and mad tictacs in photoshop help

The trouble with having an open mind, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
