Hello from Norwich
« on: April 09, 2010, 11:31:00 »
Hi blokes - I just picked up a DL1000 on Wednesday, traded up from my old Hornet 600 that I'd had for 5 years (but not ridden much the last couple) and found this site today so thought I'd come and sign up :)

Here's my bike:



And me with it on a trundle to the coast yesterday:



I'll have a nose through the site and hopefully get to speak to you all over the coming weeks :)

Cheers all, and hi Sven I'll keep my eyes out for a silver 650 :)

Been out again today on it (yay for having the week off) with the missus on the back and she's getting pretty comfortable which is nice. I'm thinking about heading into Europe on it in late summer and dragging her along; fingers Xd!

Spot on matey, good eye  :grin: Winterton and Wells are pretty much my favourite beaches round here. Been out today around Eye/Framlingham way, some nice twisty bits down there, worth a look if you've not been before.

Got to agree the blue ones are best, but that's a good looking bike!
