Same - from Figeac. But I was on a Blackbird. Almost entirely D roads though which made it more enjoyable

Can we have some Dutch plod over here on some sort of exchange scheme please?

Many happy returns Tony.

As it seems to be an aussie get together, has anyone seen / heard from Gats recently?

I've always been very impressed by SLM - last took my bike there in July last year. Far superior service to SPC IMHO.

I have just bought a VERY high mileage 41K mile 03 R1100S.

Welcome ChasesDragons. Enjoy the new bike.

they are a nice bunch on the forum, as long as you don't mind people taking the michael on regular occasions. and if your bike is blue, they'll claim that you're from wales

also try www.superblackbird.co.uk for a forum with more useful info on the bike.

Enjoy ...
