Anyway, roll on the summer, i ride it every day anyway.

Nick,

a-ha ... so you have a Tiger Stripe then ... the best colour!!!

them lime green and the posh "limited edition" are 5 mph slower by default

meets - depends ... if you live near John o' Groats ... unlikely ... be a bit more specific where you live please

I for one have not heard of a Rockster/R1150R meeting around South East/South/South West of UK. Which of course does not mean there is none.

I think for rideout announcements it would be better to post on the R1150R side as the vast majority of riders are reading both.

I do not want to play prophet ... but I do not see anything happening before April. Do not get me wrong but my idea (I do not think I am alone here) of good time during the winter does not involve long-distance touring on a naked bike ... never mind the acres of GoreTex in my wardrobe. Commuting for half an hour is another thing altogether ...

Ello.

I think we had a Rockster meet a couple of years ago at Bury Hill, near Arundel (W.Sussex). Ironically I didn't attend even though I only live 3 miles away from the place!
