Dandaman, start your own newbie thread and a tech thread in the correct section regarding the battery issues. Anyway, welcome to both yourself and Squeek. 8-)

Welcome to the forum guys, Squeak and Dandaman,

Squeak you won’t be disappointed with the 2018 R1, these new R1’s are an amazing bike. The blue ones look good too ...... did I just say that..... must be having a senior moment.... note to self.... go for a lie down in a dark room....lol

Please forgive my sense of humour, the guys n gals on here know red is my favourite colour .... I do like this one Image

Image


I don’t want to get into the discussion that reds are faster than blues..... had a very very long discussion in the office years ago with our resident Einstein (not Clarky) when I joked about red bikes being faster than blue ones.... he started quoting all sort of stuff to prove my point...... utter rubbish ..... the simple things is all bikes will go as fast as your right hand dictates

Welcome and join in the banter / have a laugh

Stephen Image
