Hello im Nigel and im new here

[Nikonnigel]

hello, just placed a deposit on a 2014 R1200gs te and will take delivery after my holiday in Normandy next week. My current bike is a Triumph Tiger 800, never owned a BMW before so hoping it will be fun. Had a 2 hour test ride today and enjoyed the ride enough to place a deposit on my return to the dealer. looking forward to posting on this forum the tiger forum is good so hoping this one is too. So cheers everyone

I lived in Winchester Town Centre for quiet a few years lovely place to live, fill yer boots in here, bunch of Tossers if you asked me, and even if you didn't they are still Tossers

And if anybody from the new forest invites you out for a ride be very suspicious ;-)
