I was an S1000Rr owner back in 2017 when I had a 2016 model which I ran for 18 months. I moved back to a GSXR600 as I was riding less frequently and couldnt justify having a bigger more expensive bike sitting around waiting for me to have time. Last month I sold my yacht and now find myself...

In the post I got my Alien head stickers from Soofsayer...... brilliant thanks for sending. A trip to Infinity in Christchurch resulted in a new helmet. Shoei NXR Valkyrie which matches the BMW Motor sport colours. After a 40 minute ride with the new helmet I am very happy with it. Great...

Yes, indeed I did.

Thanks for the welcome....I am in the foggy icy county of Dorset. Is it normal to go out to the garage several times an evening to gaze at shiney components?
