Hi All

Thanks for the add, just bought my 1st S1000RR and am loving it, even though I have only managed 121 miles on it since I picked it up in November. I went for the black and Red option as this is 1 of the new 2016 colour options so I know there will not be to many out there. I am really looking forward to the better weather and getting some real miles in, I am also looking forward to the NW 200 and will be heading over from the wednesday till the sunday.

So my question is does anybody know when the tickets for the grandstands go on sale, I have my hotel and ferry booked but can't seem to find any info on the release of these tickets. I was on the outskirts last year but would rather be able to view more of the racing from one of these positions this time.

Thanks

Hi Dazzer, welcome to the site. Cant help you with the NW200 info, never sat in the stands before. Usually hang about University corner and at the roundabout. Hope you keep enjoying your new bike and enjoy the NW.

Looks very nice, first time I've seen those colours outside.

Does anyone know is the Red colour on the black/red model is the same as the Red on the Red/white model? looks so from the picture

Hi Dazzer, cracking colour, first I've seen, really nice.

Is that the Bass Rock behind you? I can see that from my house but from a different angle.

They are both called racing red so I'd say they are.

Hi JimmyMac

Thanks, yeah I love the colours on it and yes it is the Bass rock, I see you live on the other side of the water...I stay down in Cockenzie so its a nice quick run to north berwick when the weather is ok

Hi Dazzer, you'll no have any photos of your bike with the twin chimneys as a backdrop then!! Watched the Leven lum come down a couple of years back but missed yours falling. Used to look over at them when playing golf at Leven.
