Reserector from across the pond

My name is Mark.  I live in Laurel Mississippi, USA, and have ridden to work in Bay Springs every day since I bought my cat on June 10th.  That's five days a week at 65 miles round trip.  I have clocked 10,0000 miles from then until now, and have no intentions of letting up.  I do have a truck that I can drive if weather gets too hostile.

I recently bought my '03 Yamaha YZF600RR (ThunderCat) as a commuter.  At least that is how I explained it to my wife.  

I was told about this forum by Oldcat, who visited http://yzf600r-usa.com recently.  EDIT: Now at http://YZF600R.com  (we dropped the -usa domain)  On Tapatalk, search for YZF600R

I own a few forums of my own, in fact.  http://mississippi-mud.com and http://southernskater.com , and I invite y'all to check those out if you are into off-road trucks, or roller skating.

hello and welcome, our first across the pond member? looks good (better in red white and black

Well hello there Mark,

And very welcome you are here on our side of the pond

Nice intro and a good looking bike. I'm sure you'll get a couple of hits on yer two forums if only to be nosey

Have a good snoop around our wee slice of cyberspace and hope you enjoy.

Cheers

Welcome Mark, undoubtably the best colour you have there. Couldn't have picked a better colour myself lol

Hi mark & welcome.

Paul.

Hi Mark and welcome.
Cold and damp here, very envious of the sunny pics.
Cheers

Welcome, the red white and black ones are the fastest though!

Hi there and welcome. I've been on the other site too.

Best colour you have there.... Nice bike boots too

Lovin the boots Mark.
Do you ever leap off the back and go pillion to the bike.

Welcome aboard.

Cheers

You talk as if you don't ride in roller skates.

As for the color, blue is the official color. Just as Marlboro cigarette packs are red and white. Marlboro lights are some other color... just like the red and black YZFs. They are like...... YZF lights or something.

I struggle to push and pull the right levers at the right time with normal boots on.

Rosco also has trouble pushing the right buttons most of the time ; P

Just looked at the pics again and noticed those wind deflectors you have on the side of the nose cone. Are they home made? Never seen anything like them, great idea

O.K. I'll admit that the rollerskates was a promo shot for skating site. It was intended to be silly.

The wind deflectors are in a How-To thread on yzf600r-usa.com I will dig up the link when I get a moment. Got to run out the door tight now.

NO! REALLY??????? And there were we thinking you really did ride with roller skates on!!

that was sarcasm by the way - i've been told they don't 'do' sarcasm over the pond so thought i'd just make that clear in case you were offended by my humour

Hi - think I have found the link here

Welcome aboard chap!

Nice looking bike, ride safe.

Thanks.  Here is the thread from the very top.
The wind deflectors have proven to be a favored low cost modification that is easily removed for when hot weather returns.
