Another falls to The Dark side

theseadog · Post by **theseadog** » Thu Oct 12, 2006 4:44 pm

Well the S is gone ( boo hoo ) and the new arrival is here. I'm hoping you won't make me go to that other forum and still let me hang about here, please ......... You know what I'm saying

The Dark Side

Anyway, always fancied one since I had a shot on a mates 4 years ago, so I thought why not, I suspect I will be getting another S next year right enough.

Initial thoughts, dead comfy especially for my long legs, but noticable drop in power compared to the S, even a standard one. I'm the wrong height for the standard screen and am getting buffeted, so that'll need changing. Dead quick turn in ( no honestly ) and loads of ground clearance. Headlight is pants from memory so the HID will be going into that in jig-time.

Okay let fun begin

. . . . who's first ?

A '404 not found'

404's an odd size for a bike engine?

Of course not Paul - you'll always be welcome here.

Think of us as the www's equivalent of a comfy leather easy chair, sat by a warming fire with a very large single malt in your hand.

Well that's if Chris isn't online at the time of course....

In that case it'd be a pint of Bank's!

I get the hint...............you're getting an R1200s next year to go with it?

So - Can I suggest that we give Seadog a "temporary cover note" until he gets another "S"?

I recently got a 1200Adv but kept the BCR (that's my baby

)

I'm sure you will enjoy the Adv, but I expect you'll soon be skint from buying yet more "must-have-accessories" for the new bike.

Trust me.........................................
