Newbie from Fraserburgh (North of Aberdeen)

Post by Wazza27 »

Hey guys

An R1 newbie from Fraserburgh (North of Aberdeen), had a dozen or so bikes over the years, A couple of Ninjas and couple Gixers, so this is my first R1, so far so good. I got it from Tinklers in Norwich - Highly recommended for great service!

Haha puddlestinker! Haven't heard that in a long time, that probably my mrs. I'm from along the coast Banff but moved here for lurve! :think:
Haven't done too much mileage yet probably about 600 or so.
Had a run along Deeside then up and over the Lecht to Grantown. One of my favourite runs.
