New Member Introductions » Hello Everyone

I'm new to the forum, new to full licence biking and new to owning a 1200RS. I rode small bikes in my teens and twenties for fun and commuting and the plan was to do a proper job as a retirement gift to myself and get into touring. Life has recently taught me not to wait, so here I am (11 years off retirement unless I win the lottery). Did an intensive course with Kev Bryan in Stoke (excellent by the way). Now ready for an adventure.

Welcome aboard. I'm sure you won't be disappointed with the RS. Just take it easy and get a good feel for everything. And remember anything on 4 wheel and more is out to get you. Ride defensively and have fun.

Hi Keefe
great choice for a new but older model bike, got one that will do the touring and when your still feeling young do those fast mountains road and bends with a big smile on the face. but take the time to get to know how the bike handles and how easy it is to tip it into corners without even thinking about it.

Thanks for the welcomes and the cautions. I’ll certainly be taking time to build skills and experience, plus I intend to sign up with an IAM group to keep learning
