Hopefully, this time next week I should have taken delivery of a nice 11 plate GTR.
I currently have a Tiger 800 but my wife has decided to come out on the bike more often so I thought I`d better get something a little more appropriate. Fingers crossed all goes to plan.

Ah thats what I like, a man thinking of his better half, Mrs Moggie should be as snug as a bug in a rug on the GTR. I am pretty sure that you will both love the bike. Lots of help and assistance on this forum, if needed  :185: and Enjoy.   cheers Geoff :smiley:

Thanks for welcome folks. You`re very kind. The bike is green and looks really nice.
Mrs Smoggie seems as keen on the bike as I am so I`m hoping the deal can be done. If not this one, then I will carry on looking.

GOT IT   :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Managed to pick the bike up today rather than Monday.  Had to be there by 09.00 at the latest so got up at stupid o`clock this morning and rode 150 miles to London.
It was bloody cold but deffo worth the 300 mile round trip. The ride back was much more comfy than the ride down. I hope the missus appreciates all the trouble i`ve gone to. I mean, I`m only doing this for her  :whistling: :whistling:

Cheers guys. Looking forward to putting a few faces to names but, unfortunately, due to work issues, I don`t think I can make the cotswold meet.
