Hello from North Wales

[Bluesman]

Hi all,   
Just joined up today, just bought my first touring bike, will be collecting a mint, well I think so, 2007 GTR1400 ABS (17,500 miles) in a few days. My wife decided she wanted to get back on the pillion after having our 2 boys 30 years ago. She refuses to get on my TL1000R pride and joy. I had a look about, not knowing anything of touring bikes, the 1400 just looked the perfect bike. My brother lives in southern France we normally drive down, the next trip, this August, is on the 1400.
Anyway that is enough chatter, just thought I'd say hello.

Welcome along to the forum.

The GTR is a comfortable continent shrinking bike that you and your pillion will enjoy           

[Bluesman]

Thanks for the welcome mate

Welcome, good choice for continental touring, you've got speed, comfort, decent luggage space and fairly reasonable handling capability in the GTR, enjoy the bike. Loads of great info on the forum.The crack isn't too bad either.

[Bluesman]

Thanks Robbieben, I'll no doubt be delving into the info 

Cheers

Hello Bluesman from Bristol. I circumnavigated France last August on the GTR with family on their bikes, my daughter with me - it was fabulous.

Hello Brizzlerob from North Wales. I'm looking forward to our France trip, I've not done a euro trip for a few years now, can't stay folded up on a sports bike like I used to!
This bike should open up a whole new biking life.

Welcome aboard from a member with the same year and model.  Bought Oct 18. Can't wait for better weather to put a few miles on it but loving it so far.

I'm fairly sure you won't be disappointed with it.
