New Member Introductions » Hello from Norwich

Hello All
I joined this forum back in 2018 after following an r1200 rs on a group ride and have lurked on and off ever since. I have just bought a '22 plate rs from Lind in Welwyn Garden City - collecting in a couple of days.
Looking forward to picking the brains of the members here and making some new friends too.

p.s. I don't usually dress like in my avatar - that's just for the DGR!

4 yrs of lurking? That begs a lot of questions.

Can't beat a bit of lurking.

Actually I had intended to keep my previous bike (Triumph T800 Xcx) for about three years but loved it enough to plan a long solo camping trip to Norway and change after that. Then came 2020 and everything that brought so here I am 7 years later finally making the change.
Picking up the rs tomorrow and really quite excited to ride something different for a while.

I have too many questions for you guys to continue lurking

New bike day, enjoy!

Thanks! A good ride home, running ahead of the rain which swept north behind me - I just won. A normally humdrum dual-carriageway ride was made more fun by the new bike and I still had the big grin when I arrived home after two and a bit hours in the saddle.

My twin concerns about the bike were that the slightly sportier riding position might be a bit much for my old bones and that the screen would cause too much buffeting and noise. Very pleased to discover the riding position is extremely comfortable with no discernible weight through the wrists. The screen too is fine at legal speeds although I think I will have to add a spoiler for anything more - ahem - 'enthusiastic'.
