Hi all,
Newbie dropping in and saying hello! I have just recently traded my Busa in for a 2012 1400GTR, and havent stopped smiling since :smiley: Just booked in the first service (June 6), and have a trip to Scotland planned for July. I am in Kent, and mostly ride with my wife Gill on the back.
Missed the May Day run this year :cry: but have been clocking the miles up since!
Been looking through the forum at all the useful info, awesome stuff.
Hope to maybe meet up with some of you for some ride outs!
Cheers
Alan
welcome to the forum Dood... :gunsmilie:
Hello AJ ... and of course Gill ... nice to have you on board and welcome to the forum ... it's a great place :laugh:
Glad to hear you are from the Souff ... plenty of Northern folk here but they don't bite. :mfr_lol:
I'm over in Sussex and there are a few of us south of the smoke ! Great to hear you are enjoying the bike ... colour ? There is a trip planned to The Cotswolds on June 30th weekend if you and Mrs AJ fancy it .. find it in the "Adventure" section ... it will be at the top 1 or 2 sections ... enjoy ! :cool:
Hi Alan and welcome to the forum.
:185: You have picked the right place to be for all things GTR, I am sure you and your good lady will love the bike, enjoy it, and if any help is needed we are right here. :smiley: cheers Geoff.
A Big :185: from up her int Lake District Alan....there's plenty of good banter and helpful tips and advice.
I hope you find the forum as good as your GTR
Alan :185: :185: :185: hope you enjoy the forum and find it useful. I echo Rustys point, if you can get yourself along to the GTR owners meet in the Cotswolds at the end of June you will be made most welcome.
Cheers for the warm welcome everyone :) I will have a search through the forum for the owners meet date etc - if I can make it I will for sure :)
The fourm has already helped out with info - just wired in my Garmin 660 without the use of a dealer, or spending a load of cash on their labour.. it was dead easy following the guide's on here and even easier on the 2012 bike as you dont need to remove any fairing to get to the black/yellow and black cables on the left side, just lift the edge of the big rubber weather boot. Another post had the exact size of bullets I needed so a quick trip to Halfords and all sorted.. Happy days! :banana:
Cheers
Alan
