Finally managed to sign up after realising the mobile site didn't tell you what was needed in one of the boxes!
So, I've been riding since 2000 when I lived overseas and came back to UK to do my Direct Access, just so myself and a mate could hire bikes and tour New Zealand. Loved it so much, I went back 2 years later.
Then bought a brand new 954 in Saudi, then shipped to Dubai prior to returning home (sans Fireblade) in 2004 when I decided to get a FZ6 Fazer. After a break for a few years, I bought a Honda Deauville for my 122 mile round trip commute from Shropshire to Birmingham. That served me well for almost 18 months of motorways in all conditions.
Then I decided to chase my 'rainbow' and test ride a GS. As the kids say "OMG"... I had to get it, so pulled out all the stops and part ex'd my Deauville at Harley Davidson in Birmingham, and am now the beaming (get it?) owner of an R1200GS TU (2010).
Only thing it didn't tick on wish list was spotlights for the dark winter country roads.
Sorry to ramble, but looking forward to getting involved.
