    Hi.
    Just popped in to introduce my bike.
    From the subject title, some (or all?) of you may be wondering what D9001 is all about? Well, it is the number of my favourite diesel locomotive-A Deltic. 3,300bhp of pure adrenalin to drive, but sadly no longer in use on Britains railways in any regular way (D9001 was scrapped, in the early 80’s). Anyway that kinda explains what my mame on here is all about. So, now to my bike!!! At the moment, I am on a Suzuki GS500E, which I bought new last march (2004). I am well pleased with it, having done over 10k, up to now, without trouble. Only ‘complaint’ I have is, the paintwork (enamelling??) on the exhaust pipes is rusted to ferk, and that was BEFORE winter riding to/from work came about! Same thing happened to my last bike, a Kawaski ER5. Would love to know why such things aren’t protectected fully, in relation to the crap weather we get!!
    Anyway, that’s about it, re my bike, so now a (VERY) small amount about me….
    I was born at a very early age, have lived my live thus far, and intend to live a lot longer yet!

    BLOOP!!! BLOOP!!! BLOOP!!!

    LOVE IS GIVING SOMEONE THE ABILITY TO DESTROY YOU, THEN TRUSTING THEM NOT TO.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, Vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming…….WOO HOO, what a ride!

    Nice bike, that blue door could perhaps do with a fresh bit of paint though, red would look nice………..[:D]

    Hey delticman… we used to have a bin like that when I was a kid… I also remember the last Deltic journey in the early 80’s, we went out to watch it run through Welham Green (near Hatfield).. I think theres one at the Nene Valley preserve railway.

    Ohh… and nice little machine, looks like a baby Bandit in some ways.

    To “ERR” is natural.. to really fowl things up needs a politician!!
