Well hello everyone!

I've just bought an 1125R off forum member pash. Haven't actually picked it up yet, but should be getting it at the weekend. I'm far too excited for words!!

I live on the Leicestershire/Derbyshire/Staffordshire borders in Ashby-de-la-Zouch. Are there any members in the east/west Midlands who fancy meeting up and going out for a spin?

I live with my ZX6R riding girlfriend, and we're both doing physics PhDs at Loughborough university.

The warmer weather's getting closer, and I just can't wait to get out there and do some miles!

Anyway, that's me.

Welcome. Never worry about bungling your spelling cos you will soon be put straight on here.
UKBEG comes with it's own spell check.

Pash's old bike was reportedly one of the smoothest, except they aren't supposed to be smooth they're Buells

Once you've both done your Phds we'll be expecting answers to all sorts of questions about everything; oh hang on we already get that
Enjoy the bike and forum.

Gah! Bloody east mids expressions! I've only lived round here a few years and you won't hear me talking like that (and if you do, you have permission to kill me)

How are you finding it? Collecting mine at the weekend - can't wait!!

I'm up for that. I'll give you a shout if I go on any rideouts too.

Incidentally, since you're close, what are you doing on 7th March? There's a load of bikes and cars meeting up at Donington park in an attempt to bring some attention and maybe help save the track. See http://www.savedonington.co.uk/ for details. I'll be riding there with a few local friends, and if you fancy meeting up, it'd be great to meet a fellow 1125 owner!

To everyone else whose welcomed me, many thanks. It's nice to meet such a friendly group.

Fozberry

Not so sure about the Ashby meet-
Have you seen the locals?

fozberry. my 1125r was collected in december and i am still running it in due to crap weather. i have ridden a few before ( mainly round mallory on buell experience days) and that was the reason i wanted one ( and the price!). my last bike before this was a zx6, so it was hard to get back into a big v twin - i have had an aprilla mile and a vfr before. what i do like about the 1125r is its prety comftable, plenty fast enough and a looker ( mine has the lower fairing and gets a lot of looks and questions).
deftinetly have to sort something out when weather better and i will try and get up donnington ( happy memories) in march.
be lucky, mart.
p.s your right about the east mids inbred lingo - i am the token brummie at the college in coalville and i cant understand a word there on about - mind you they aint got a clue wot i am on about as well
