Welcome to the forum John and congratulations on your new RR!

What sort of riding do you enjoy primarily and what is your motorcycling history?

Enjoy the forum, there is a wonderful community on here and loads of information [emoji4]

Hi John and welcome to the site.
This is a great forum and you will find all you require on it I?m sure.
Hope you like a joke too as I?m also sure JimmyMac and stuartb will have you in stitches.
Incidentally I?m from Hull too, so perhaps our paths will cross, that?s if they haven?t done already.

 

[john eggleton]

hi roadrunner i love a laugh and a joke nice to see someone local its strange but ive not seen another rr1000 in hull

 

[roadrunner]

Hello again John.
That?s true about the S1000RR
about these parts but I think it makes us a little select.
I find the bikes stand out in a crowd and I for one like that.
I wonder if we?ve bumped into each other without knowing?
Next time I see one around here it?s likely it?ll be you I expect.
I?ll keep a sharp lookout for you around my usual haunts
Take care mate
