I joined a while back as I was rebirthing as a motorcyclist 😂 but then ended up with model and country specific headaches so joined forums based on those. The model specific forum only has a handful of posts per day, probably more active on FB but there’s nowt they don’t know about my bike. That said, in the nicest possible way it is the polar opposite of my leftie STW bubble when the B or C words come up 😉

Anyway I’ll be back @weeksy, I don’t use FB and much prefer the feel of a forum.

I signed up a while ago but don't think I've ever posted - I need to put that right 🙂

I don't tend to ride the bike much through winter so it's a bit "out of sight, out of mind".

Plus due to the situation, I've not really ridden the bike much this year. Fingers crossed that will change next year!

Salivating at the thought of picking this up. In the workshop having some parts fitted.

I have invested in a heated jacket and handlebar grips in order to address that, though 🙂

I do like a winter's day ride when it's nice and dry.

Am I allowed to join just to ask how much to offer my mate for his BMW R1200GS adventure? 2006 full luggage & only 2700miles on the clock!

Lol damn right not today!!!

There's things like this over there

https://www.bikeexif.com/custom-bmw-r-ninet-lowered-motorcycle

I don't even know where to begin with this one. Maybe, sort of, awesome, horrid, amazing, tasteless, fabulous, I could use any and all of them.

One thing for sure is, it's amazing

Needs a hardtail lovers sub-forum, plus a "what tyres" sub-forum.

Well my forum is a year old tomorrow. In that year i've had 60,000 posts on the forum, which i personally think is bloody marvellous and it's taken off way more than i ever hoped.

We've given away free gifts from mugs to a trackday, from Hoodies to a days training.

We've not banned anyone, although we've been close.. Apart from a few issues, it's been golden.

I think we've found a nice little niche in the corner of the www.

I'm certainly hoping as summer kicks in we get more riding and more posting... but thank you, i'm most happy with it in terms of progress

Well done. I was reading some of it the other day and it inspired me to get my KTM 990 serviced, MOT'd and taxed. Pick it up tomorrow with a set of giant knobblies fitted.

Now I'm spending the afternoon looking at OS maps and plotting my new commute which will take in a much off-road as possible.

Cant wait.
