Hi from Sussex

Post by Red1 »

Hi Guys. I've been having a look around for a while now and I'm going to have a look at an R1 tomorrow. I've been riding bikes for a few years on an of. I ride a Ducati and just feel a need to get an R1. I'm in to cars and sea fishing and I've got two Jack Russell's that need a lot of walking. And in between all this I have to go to work. I'm a window fitter and have been for 32 years so well and truly shot. Probably be asking loads of things in the future. Cheers .

Welcome to the forum Steve, great opening post :clap: :clap: and cracking name too boot :D , I think, Steve, Stevie, ste and Stephen or Steven is the most popular name on the forum :D

Good luck on your hunt for your R1 you won't be disappointed whatever model you choose, they are all great bikes for different reasons.

Our forum is more like a community, people are mostly friendly, those that are not have been muzzled :lol: , the guys are very knowledgable and like nothing more than helping people out, that's what makes this place such a fantastic place to hang out and talk about biking and whatever other stuff we are thinking about at the time.

So welcome

Stephen :D

Hi Colin. Yes I did find the RS in the end. I lost count how many I looked at and I've never known a car come with so many story's . And that was going back a few moons. I'd hate to think what it's like now trying to find a nice one.
