Hello everyone
Finally got round to joining the forum just as I'm selling my 1200RS. The good news is that I'm trading it in for a new 1250RS due for delivery at the end of June. I did briefly look at other bikes (sorry!) but there really is no substitute for me - a great bike!

Welcome to the forum. Slightly envious of your location as its one of my favourite areas in the country.
Good move on your trade up to the 1250.
Have fun🏍️

yes, but there is a reason why Cumbria is very green and littered with massive holes full of water

Thank you - it is a lovely part of the world, although as wessie accurately points out it can be a tad damp at times. I live just to the north of the Lakes, which can get very crowded but NE Cumbria, the pennines and southern Scotland are neglected by many visitors. Miles and miles of quiet roads, beautiful scenery and great riding - but don't tell anyone!

I have friends in Brampton and love the area east of the M6 and north of Preston. The southern part of Scotland is not too shabby either, and very quiet compared to the better known parts north of the central belt. I made 3 visits to the area during the 2 years without overseas travel.

Returned recently from a trip to North England and the borders, one of my favourite riding areas-low traffic and great flowing roads. Afraid I did introduce two friends to the area and they cannot wait to return. Only rain Wessie was when I continued to isle of Bute, and the Highlands.
