Three sleeps to go...

Post by dokotela »

Ladies and Gents,

its only 3 more sleeps to go before I can go and pick up my 2007 matt grey R12R. I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas day!
Having lurked on this forum for some considerable length of time,I have plunged myself in head first now. Neck problems and pinched nerves from various other uncomfortable bikes have brought me in this direction.

And you know what? I just can't wait to get out there and ride my new bike.

Like many, many others, I fell into the terrible trap of test riding the R12R :D :D :D :D

Photos will be forthcoming of the new baby.

Well ladies and gentlemen,

I have now had my bike for a full 48 hours, and I'm loving every second of it.
I rode into work today, and sailed past the lines of cars. What a dream start to my day; I arrive with a smile on my face.

I can now start planning in earnest my trip to the Pyrenees next year.All I need is a bit of luggage and a taller screen, and off I go.

Great bike.
Great forum.

Good morning Julian !

How about some photos? You did good getting the granite gray. It is absolutely the fastest color for the RR. =D>

I'm working on the photos.

Rest assured, they will be forthcoming. At the moment I'm just too busy riding her...
