Newbie saying hello

[5150]

Hi!

Long-time lurker, first-time poster, based in SE London.

I've just picked up my shiny new black K8 SV today, having passed my DAS on Wednesday. I love it already - even though I'm taking it really easy for the running in period (which applies to wet-behind-the-ears me as much as the bike!).

My god, it's been an intense week of riding.... my hands are little more than claws at the moment! :D

Hopefully I'll be getting to meet some of you on rides out and stuff in the future!

Keep off the grass, don't feed the animals and keep your fingers out of the cages!

Beware of Hovis and don't trust anything Bear says.

Welcome to the funny farm!

reeto 5150. how ya doing kid?

[5150]

Thanks for the great welcome, all!

I've just put my first 100 miles on this weekend. Yesterday was in central London, and today was out around Kent - Knockholt and Biggin Hill.

What a clement way to spend a weekend, I must say! I was certainly glad to get out of town and get some air into my jacket....

Only 500 miles to go, and I can take the revs up to 8,500. Hehe!

Now normally Phil is a decent human being who definitely isn't punching above his weight by going out with someone as fit as his missus, but I wouldn't listen to him on this one...

Welcome to the madhouse. I'm not a deviant, I'm just misunderstood...

[phil24_7]

Decent human being??? That's the nicest thing anyones ever said about me!!

Thanks Bear :smt058
