Hi All, just thought I'd say Hi!

Not new to bikes but new to the forum - been riding for > than 20 Years, had my full licence for around 6 years now and still haven't managed to kill myself... Mr. Green

Commute 70 miles daily - regardless of weather, and it's only snow/ice thats forces me into a car... Evil or Very Mad

Currently have a couple of ZZR1200's (02+05) just missing the black one and I'll have the full stable.

Off with the Wife around Europe in a couple of weeks for a 10 day Tour - There may be more pics to follow..

Catch you all around.

Cheers Smile

Nice to meet you, Roos.

Nice bikes. Is one your wife's or do you really have two (almost) identical bikes to yourself?

Hey Nexus Mr. Green

No - - -they're both mine - She is strictly pillion only.

And why two? - Well I haven't found a bike that really takes my fancy above this "one" Laughing

One for "work" and one for "best". I do > 20K miles a year just commuting so the life expectancy is short - but glorious..

Cheers Wink

Hello...so you managed to evade the DVLA until 6 years ago?? They wrote to me back in 1997 and said that the rules had changed and I could no longer pootle about on L'plates and had to do a CBT!!! Cheeky sods...I opted to do DAS, and skip all the latest nonsense. Cool

Thanks Pinky, Pics are a Defo and don't worry - I've had the Wife in training for a year after our trip to Cornwall last year:

https://i329.photobucket.com/albums/l395/Urban1200/Landsend.jpg

We arrived back from that and as we got off on the drive - she turned to me and said - "That was Fecking Brilliant - can we go to Austria next Year!!??"

--------------------

Longest days are the first and the last - 4-5hours, the rest is plain sailing... 2-3 hours Rolling Eyes Laughing

Cheers Thumbs Up
