 :185: tapps and congratulations on joining this forum.  Shame about the colour you've ordered but you can always have it resprayed to magnesium later.  :mfr_lol:

Only joking, I haven't seen a lot of green ones but they do look good. Has your mate joined the forum, or is he intending to join?

Hi Tapps

Your bike is green and so am I.......with envy!

I don't really have the right to welcome you because I am just a newbie too and don't even have a GTR (yet!??!).

I have some recent West Sussex GTR riding experience but I have already bored the forum stiff with that though they have been great  :clap:.  This is a really brill' forum.  Not sure about (next) bike but I am thinking of movng from London t'north :grin:

Congratulation and all the very best with the new bike .

Tapps ....  Glad to hear good reports about Alfs .... that is where I bought mine last year and have raved about the service here on the forum. Whiteways Lodge Roundabout is always busy so next time I am out that way I shall look out for you  :smiley:
As we have all said ... you will just love the Gtr  :laugh:
