What do I do to stop irritating people with my permanent smile?

Taking it easy with the freezing conditions, 64mpg!

Well done.  You are obviously chuffed. Salt will soon vanish, I hope..

Steve I know what you mean and I don't think there is a cure. Coming up to 7K on mine and still have a stupid grin when riding. Enjoy your bike.


Steve is it a new one?

A fully loaded recall bike with 4000 miles on it and £3.5k off the list price

Nice one. Good saving on new.

Nice one Steve.  I'm the same, can't get enough of mine

Sofnolime,  did you get yours from Douglas Park or Edinburgh ?

I picked mine from Alan Dalziel at Glasgow great deal on my K1600be,      just waiting for the salt to get washed away in the Borders.

I got mine from Douglas Park in September last year, Alan and the rest of the guys through there were really good.  I got a good deal on the bike and the accessories I wanted with it.  I would recommend them to anyone...


I have been getting out most weekends.  Like most folks though, I can't wait until the weather cheers up and I can get some decent miles in again.

Congratulations and well done!  I can empathise with the big grin syndrome - I picked up my new one last Friday and the grin seems to be permanently affixed to my face

Congrats on the new RT....7000miles on mine now, and still grinning every ride.be

Over a week now and not a day solidly out of freezing. Averaging 59mpg (uk) and managed 64 on one journey. Can't wait for better weather.

Is that ebony black Steve? Mines ebony- it looks stunning in the sunlight. It's good that we can all enthuse on this forum about our toys- the women in my office showed no interest at all when I bought mine, not even when I told them about the torque figures & the new wet clutch... 

Yep ebony black, i've never cleaned a vehicle so much in such a short space of time but the colour is really nice when clean and the sun catches it. I find it funny when the lads at work enthuse about their fast cars... Fast?
