Hi from North Wales

Post by gary2390 »

Just a quick hello. Living near Conwy, and just picked up my first R1 yesterday, a 2003 model with just 6400 miles. A 13 hour/700 mile round trip but certainly seems worth it.....

Will put up some pics soon.

Cheers

Gaz

Welcome to the forum mate, the 5pw is the best looking one I just brought one which makes me slightly biased but hey.. Great place this. Bit of piss taking as there should be, but great helpful place.
