New folk...

Hi Guys, Here's another one from the U.S.- I've just purchased a used but very nicely taken care of 2000 Mille R. 9000 miles and a fair number of nice ad-ons.:biggrin She's Black, red, and white and as I've been reading that means she's faster than that "Slow Silver":rotfl. I'm an old fart, 55 to be exact but I'm not a full fledged geezer either. I do love the twisties.:devious: I said I love them, that doesn't mean that I can go around them very fast but I do love them!! I'm learning and getting better.

I've really enjoyed the forum. Keep it up!!:thumbup

Just want to say Hi, Just found this forum so i thought i will introduce my self.
Bought my self a 02 silver Mille about month ago. I love it to bits, but she already shown me the bad sides of owning an italian bike.:mad1 Here is the story:
I bought it for a reasonable price from a stealership and discovered that it has a problem the right fork was leaking and the dealer took it back the next day and replaced the seals under warranty (30 days). so that has been solved and while he had the forks off discovered that the head bearring was a bit shagged so he changed the bearings so i was a week withou it again.Finally got it back and took it for a spin out of town and discovered that the 4th gear kept jumping out. So took it back once again and he took it for a test ride and agreed that there is a problem and its not worth repairing and told me that he will give me my money back, Stripp the bike and sell it for parts , but it was too late , i fell in love with it and decided to save her from the scrap yard. I told him that i keep it if he gives me £600 back and i solve the problem.
He agreed.I bought a 4000 mile engine from an 03 and changed it my self: here are some pics of her and the engine transplant:
