Hi Syd, So you found us then. Glad you made the change after falling in love with my GREEN GTR.

You will so love the banter on here and at least one member lives quite close to Bedale so hoping we may bump into him in June, although with your track record you will probably have a different bike by then.

Welcome Mate.

Hey Mo, could not resist the change once I saw your beautiful GREEN GTR.....it's the only colour for me and I love it. Have to say, what a great welcome, thanks to you all.
Luvvin the banter already.

To the few BMW lovers....do not get to disheartened when the love affair goes bad.....you can always trade for a nice new GTR and get the good times back in your life....as is often said, the problem with BMW's is that they are overpriced and over here.....yep I am ready for the onslaught... :help:  :surrender:

Green? Oh well, if there are no black ones available it's probably second best, so long as it's lime green.  :banana:
As for the Bikes Made Weird  I liked the R100RT and the R80GS but not much since then.
I like bikes with character.  :biker3: :popcorn:

Peter, welcome Mate. Why are you on Syd's post? too shy to start your own? They will still take the piss wherever you go. See you soon.
