Hi from north of the border.

[Porridgewog]

Hey,

I've been on the US forum for a few years and never new there was a uk forum so I'm officially defecting here.

Story so far:

2010 Thunder grey S1000RR sports, usual additions I wont list except for the PCV and akra shorty. Written off by a friendly Corsa driver in 2012.

Replaced with a 2012 Red and white S1000RR sports, transferred all my additions and am a big fan of heated grips!

Not into track days but went to the Nurburgring last year with a mate on a busa and had a fantastic time (left him waaay behind on the track:friendly_wink

As of today I also had my bike custom mapped which didn't have as much gain as my 2010. My old one topped 197 bhp while my current one hit 190 bhp, go figure? :dread:

However as I'llprobably never use any of that anyway it makes no difference to me regardless.

Favourite road, the A82 up Lomondside all the way to Fort William. Hopefully will get back to Europe again some time but it won't be this year and I think I'll hang around the Black Forest area of Germany.

Anywaym nice to be here and keep the rubber side down!

welcome fella, nice introduction

Welcome, i'm in Glasgow.
Seeing as you've done the A82. i highly recommend you go a little further and head for Aviemore along the A86. The A86 is the best road i have ever ridden on, Far better than the A82.
Fort William>Spean Bridge>Kinggusse>Aviemore

 

[Porridgewog]

I'll certainly give the A86 a shot on your recommendation. Next month I'm taking it up to Skye for the weekend but will have a pillion so not as fun!

Also try this little deviation off the A82 http://goo.gl/maps/ic1Hf The Fantastic B863 16 miles of twists n turns rises n falls.... best road off the A82 :applause:

Welcome to the forum and nice introduction.

I'm in the Midlands so never run out of road - maybe not quite as exciting as the A82.

Best regards,
