New Member Introductions » Hi from East England

Hi all recently purchased a r1250rs exclusive moving on from my aprilia tuono, so far loving it. Hoping to get a few trips in this year! Pic of collection day 2 days ago.
Anyone near Colchester give me a nudge for a ride out.

Welcome, Moe. You look very young compared to most RS owner

You forget - Essex Boys age better than the rest of us - Botox centre of the world? - he may be our age!

Moe you bought a good color for the RS model. I don’t want to divert this thread away from your intent of saying hello but I like the looks of what appears to be a fairly weather proof jacket. Would you be willing to post the brand and model?

Welcome aboard Moe. Nice bike. I'm from Bury St. Edmunds. So not far away. Just not finding much time. To get out. 😕
Enjoy your new steed.

hi Moe, wellcome to the forum, do i detect a slight smugness in the photo. well i have the same feeling as i just changed my 17 plate rs for a new r1250r se. i fancied a slight change. unless anybody has any objections i will remain on the forum. the only difference is a bit more plastic on the front . air blast is changed at 70mph it is more constant over the top part of my body as apposed to the constant blast around my helmet (5"10) friendly & plenty of info & great banter, enjoy

Welcome to the forum Moe.

Welcome! I'm Mersea Island born and bred but I live a ways North nowadays. Enjoy the RS.

Thanks for the nice welcome guys! Born and bred in SW London so no botox just the clean living of a village, and the wiff of unleaded petrol!
I like a mix of everything so change bikes frequently, the rs being on my list since it first appeared in 2015, a far cry from the 175bhp tuono I px'd for.

Now this will be blasphemous on a bmw forum, the jacket is a triumph branded one! Beinn gtx gortex. Its not waterproof on the outside shell just the inside jacket which is debatable, much better than the icon one I had which disintegrated from the inside out.

Out for a ride on Saturday 26th with another bmw, be nice to get some more 'snobs' to ride with. Starting out at Marks Tey shell around 9am.
