Title: It's arrived!!!
Post by: Bearded Dew Drop on March 03, 2017, 02:00:36 PM
Woohoo!! My 17 plate GTR has arrived 5 miles on the clock. It was shiny and lovely but is now looking pretty dirty. It's a foul day here in Kegworth, I only had a little pootle out to Loughborough to fill up the tank but it was chucking it down. Mind you I was still smiling. Looking forward to getting out on it properly.  :banana:

Good to hear and glad you are enjoying it.

I picked mine up three weeks ago and apart from a boring motorway run from the dealer in London up to the Midlands I have not had chance to have a "proper" ride yet.

Tomorrow is looking reasonable though so I bet you and I will both beheading out to our respective favourite local loops  :smiley:

I was at my kwak dealer in the week to sort my flaking zorst paint.

There was a bloke there riding off on a 17 plate ZZR performance sport. I kid you not, he looked about 106 and 5' 2". Brilliant. Apparently he has a new one every year.

So after having the GTR for a few months, my thoughts? Bloomin fantastic. It's been used every day for my commute to work and had a couple of ride outs. Off to Northern Spain and France in September, really looking forward to it. The pic was taken in Stevenage on Saturday. We went to a friends wedding. My other half on her Bonnie Street Twin.
