Yet another newbie
« on: April 01, 2018, 12:51:14 »
 Hi Everybody,
New to the forum and yet to pick up my new bike :bawl: dealer said it should be ready for this coming weekend. Opted for a new 650, and got a deal on the original panniers. Really looking forward to picking it up, never ridden one before so it should be fun. Coming from a CBR 600f I know  it's going to be very different. I'm going to be on a steep learning curve because I'm off to Europe for 6 months touring. Been working abroad for the last 21 years, Middle East, Europe and the last 7 in the Caribbean so I'm treating myself to a year off to have some r&r and as much fun as I can have before rejoining the rat race. Any tips on the Bike/Camping/Eurotrip would be most welcome. thanks.
Andy

Greetings from Lincolnshire. If you get the chance, Norway, don't miss it, it's one of the most beautiful country in Europe and the people are great too. Been 5 times, and hope to go again next year. Wherever you go, enjoy it.  :thumb: :thumb:
