Hello to you all.

Well I've taken the plunge and take delivery of an 1125r this Sunday.
I've always bought bikes based on their reputation for reliability.

Past few bikes have included a Benelli TnT 1130 evo sport and Duke 999.
So you can see just how seriously I take it!

Looking forward to waking up on Sunday, pulling on my leathers and getting my leg over......then getting out of bed and awaiting delivery of the Buell :yup:

Weathers not good enough to be called shite!!
I moved back to Glasgow two years ago after 18 years up in Aberdeenshire.
Weather was far better up there. Was able to use bike all year round.

Maybe we'll get and Indian summer :rotfl:

My dear ol' Uly now stays in Erkine, lovingly cared for by Mr Shuggie. I'm sure he'll be along in a minute to say hello when he's caught up with the chores :P

Just got the bike an hour or so ago.
Was going to go for a spin but spitting with rain so parked up in kitchen.
Forecast is good for Thursday so will be taking it out as I'm off from Wednesday for 5 days.
One issue is that the bike only came with one key. Never lost a bike key but you never know.
Where's best to get another? reluctant to use west coast harley........friends might see me going in.
Already getting texts from folk asking if I have a fringed jacket and a pair of chaps yet :old:
