Hi all

Post by Fletchbox »

Just found this site and thought I would say Hi.

I was previously an R6 owner until I saw the light and brought a r1100s last Oct. It is yellow and grey (not the mandarin) 2003 model and I love it! :D

All my friends think I am mad at at only 27, it did feel a bit weird buying into BMW so young but they are just so good!! :D

Welcome to the club - see how your friends feel if you can easily keep up with them on one then - As an S owner it is your duty to educate the great unwashed :shock:

Welcome Young uns,

Now remember, no running in the corridors of Boxertrix and no hanging around by the drinking fountains :wink:

You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

i don't think we'll have much choice about hanging around... waiting for you chaps (and chapesses) with more... life experience... to catch up

:wink:

Hi

Thanks for the welcome, glad to see I am not the youngest owner of an S :lol:

I am based in Hertfordshire Harry.

I see the club meet up for some ridouts now and then, is it simply a case of keeping my eyes open and turning up?

Cheers
Roly

Thought I'd let you know that there are some gals who venture out on R1100S's! :wink:

Welcome, and congratulate yourself on making a fine choice for a bike. You are going to have great fun getting to know it and love it!

Hi, I am also new to the site having bought a BCR on 2nd Jan. I too felt a bit odd buying BMW at such a young age (43) but hey, no one can see how old you are with your helmet on.

Haven't yet had a chance to ride the bike more than a few miles (wet roads, cold, bald tyres, no MOT, no tax, etc) but it certainly feels a bit different to my SV650S!
Can't wait to get the thing legal, hopefully this weekend.
Ride like your life depended on it.

Congrats on your purchase, I have covered 1000enjoyable miles now and have a day trip to le touqet planned at the end of Feb :D I can't wait for the weather to get better and I will be out on it as much as possible!!

Far more enjoyable than the R6!
