Another one from North Wales

Postby Ekimyrf » Sat Feb 20, 2016 5:34 pm

Hi All

I have just returned to the Boxer fold after last owning an R1200GS in Australia.

I have moved back to the UK and am living in Northop, I have just bought a v nice R1100s in silver mandarin that my mate bought off Finn on the UKGSER site, and I convinced him to sell to me after I saw it.

Loving the effortless torque and handling of this thing.

I also have a lovely 1100 Guzzi Griso, for sunny sunday rides.

Hope to see some of you out and about

Mike

Slparry I think I chatted with you at chester motorrad a few weeks ago.

Yep no problem, a few do the same. Everyone gets to the Wild Pheasant from around 9AM

We all leave the car park at 10AM .... full fuel tanks and empty bladders :D

well I mentioned initially and asked for attendees to say if they were interested in either, but have had no one making a preference so I guess not at this stage :)
