Only been 4 years.

Post by Ibbo »

Hi All,

Time I actually put a post on here, and came out to join some of you for a ride out. Can't believe I joined in 2018.

I haven't actually done nothing in that time, we do get out and about a fair bit. Camping around the UK, and europe when we can, though only did around 3k last year. I have been riding more than a few years now, rather not say as it's adding up. First road bike was a B25 Starfire, it wasn't new though.
I have done the odd race track in the past, but seem to have got stuck in a late 70's, early 80's time warp with my bikes at the moment. GS1000, and R100RS. Even the RS keeps up with modern bikes on the road, though the brakes need leaning on quite firmly when fully laden, and the throttle needs to be kept in the loud sector.
I did try out a new R1250RS last year, and was slightly dissappointed.

I do have a desire to test ride a 1290gt, so that might happen this year too.

Hopefully I will see you out and about.

Mike

Well Hi and welcome...... back
Would be great to see you on a ride out some time in 2022. Seems like you have had some bikes over the years
Has to smile at the number plate of EWW sounds like your bikes does not approve.

Hi and welcome Mike

Most people are blown away by the 1290 GT, or the 1290 SDR.
I hope to have one or the other in next couple of years.

Anyway, hope to see you on a ride out this year.
1190 Adventure S, 990 Superduke, DRZ-400E - all the bases covered.

Hi,
Thanks for the welcome.
Hoping to make it to Chivvy for the next bimble out.

Can't say the BM was too impressed with all the camping gear loaded up.
