Finally got one

[Max Headroom]

Hi All,

I've been following the chat for a couple of weeks but didn't want to contribute until I actually had my bike. Picked up an ex demo 1200 from Allen Jefferies Shipley at the weekend. I actually went in originally looking for 1150 Adv but after having a test on the 1200 I was completely sold, to use a term I often consider a bit sad, it is awsome. It feels so much more agile than the 1100GS I had a while back and is incomperable to the Varadero I traded for it. I could go on all day and I know someones going to tell me the 1150 isn't like the older 1100 but I really don't care, I like the agility.
One thing though, I had to have it with Alloys but want wires anyone want to swap??? (wheels that is)

Also why can't I upload my own Avatar?

Welcome Max, enjoy your new bike. Don't worry about the rivalry betwenn 1200, 1150 & 1100 riders here, it's all bollox. Just ride the arse off it. Good luck with the wheels thing, doubt you'll find many wanting to swap but you never know.

Also, I think you need to be a Forum Sponsor before you can put up yer own avatar

I realised I was dyslexic when I went to a toga party dressed as a goat.

Cats have nine lives. Which makes them ideal for experimentation.

My dad is Irish and my mum is Iranian, which meant that we spent most of our family holidays in Customs.

The dodo died. Then Dodi died, Di died and Dando died... Dido must be sh*tting herself.
- Colin & Fergus at the Pleasance

My parents are from Glasgow which means they're incredibly hard, but I was never smacked as a child ... well maybe one or two grams to get me to sleep at night.
- Susan Murray at the Underbelly

Is it fair to say that there'd be less litter in Britain if blind people were given pointed sticks?

My mum and dad are Scottish but they moved down to Wolverhampton when I was two, 'cause they wanted me to sound like a tw*t.
- Susan Murray at the Underbelly

You have to remember all the trivia that your girlfriend tells you, because eventually you get tested. She'll go: "What's my favourite flower?" And you murmur to yourself: "Sh*t, I wasn't listening..
Self-raising?"

The world is a dangerous place; only yesterday I went into Boots and punched someone in the face.
