New Member Introductions » New Member from Manchester

Hi all, just come across your forum and thought i would sign up. Having ridden Japanese bikes for the last 25 years i thought it about time I tried something new, so I bought myself an R1200RS Sport SE earlier this year and have loved it. Did a 1300 mile, week long, tour of Ireland with my wife on the back and could not fault it. Looking forward to many more smiles.

Based in Manchester, England.

Welcome Colin, I think the RS ability to manage a weekend scratch and a 2-up tour is really what sets it aside from so many other great bikes.

Otherwise I would have a scratched weekend

Sorry guys ....and my thanks to Wessie for a very appropriate translation and the avoidance of cross cultural misunderstandings. In my defence I was responding to a fellow Mancunian and felt sure he would understand my expression “to scratch”
