Good evening Gents,
Quick background:
Just turned 24, had full licence since 19 (managed to do it before the A2 messing around!)
Booked a test ride at Allan Jefferies this week on an S1000RR (more explained below)
Riding history:
16 - Scoot d'exec (still have)
17 - Honda Varadero 125 (gone)
19 - V Strom 650 (still have, now at 28k miles)
20 - Triumph Daytona 675 (2013 launch edition, sat with 16k miles)
23 - One of the last Daytona 675 2016's (600 miles, just run it in)
During the same time my dads had a K1200GT, Triumph Explorer and had for a while a R1200R '15 exclusive and its a cracking bit of kit showing me the pro's of the technology that BMW uses.
2013 Daytona:
2016 Daytona at Devils Bridge
Ducati 1299S Panigale at Snetterton, whilst shifting!
In March of this year I undertook the Ducati Trackstar event at Snetterton and after a day riding a 1299S I had too much fun!
Managed 5 days at Snett this year juggling my Graduate job, now I'm commuting 80 miles a day mostly on bike due to the traffic encountered.
I'm not as excited with my 2016 Daytona I've just bought & I'm looking at serious options, even though I have all I need to road and track it + 2 sets of spare wheels :fatigue: .
6 Years no claims for biking & the 1299s is ?7,400 / year, managed to get an S1000RR to be 1/7th of that.
As above, looking forward to the test on Friday.
Be will trawling through the forums for opinions, advice and knowledge of the bike.
Be great to see who is in the North West as well
Regards,
Westy
