Hello All

I have just ordered a new S1000RR and am due to collect it next Friday, 3rd August from Cannons in Braintree Essex. Can't wait now. I was there yesterday when my bike arrived in a crate. Having to wait a week to get my hands on it is excruciating. I got a really good deal on insurance through BMW. Very comprehensive cover at a better price than I could find elsewhere too.
I plan to post some pics of my bike, which will be loaded up with Bling, carbon fibre, Akro, rear sets, levers etc.

Welcome aboard
I also have insurance with BMW , due to the fact that no one else would insure me with a system on it

Hi and welcome ;D

Hello neighbour I'm just around the corner. Got mine from Canons as well but have gone off them since the donuts dried up.

lmfao! Its the cut backs, what with the recall n'all

Thanks for the messages of welcome. Unionjack, for info Cannons tell me their putting together a social schedule for existing and prospective clients, with ride-outs and social events. They are planning a ride up to NEC show in November and a ride to Le Mans next spring.
Seems there are a number of S'thou owners around us!

I didnt know they had Donuts the buggers must have hid them from me

Welcome along mate.

The S1000RR is awesome so enjoy it.

Fatbob - I had similar-ish problems with insurance (my existing company wanted more than double the cost of the Blade) but BMW Insurance were the cheapest - they dealt with the dealer direct and they were very efficient.

Couldn't wait in the end so picked it up Wednesday afternoon. First 200 miles clocked up and aim to complete running in by mid August. Bike is awesome. Everything I expected and hoped for. Loving it.

I'd love to. Just let me know where and when, work permitting I'll be there. Be good to meet a few more of you guys.
I actually picked the bike up early on Weds 1st Aug as I couldn't wait until the Friday and Cannons said they could get it ready in time. Happy days. I love it. What a machine, and easy to ride fast. Got about 450 miles clocked up and scheduled her first service for 23rd. Then they'll de-restrict her. Can't wait for that!
