Title: An introduction then
Post by: dokterdave on December 31, 2011, 02:56:42 PM
Hi all
My names Dave I live in Brighton and ride a Black 07 bought in 08 with 3500 miles on the clock it replaced a GTR1000
I use my bike for commuting and holidays, it now has 35000 miles on the clock.

Problems I've had with my bike, I had the front discs replaced @7500 after a trip to Switzerland in 08, my first tour with the bike. There's a scabby bit on the rear rim and the paint has lifted.
Other wise all is good.

Yo Dave,

Black 07s ROOL! <LOL>
Welcome aboard.

Yes, I still have my old GTR1000 but haven't ridden it for 18 months.
I hope to get it legal in a couple of months.
The 1400 is still rocking on and now @ 48,000 miles.
