Newbie

Post by Teapot68 »

I’ve just become the proud owner of a 09 1200rt and just wanted to say Hi. At the moment I’m a bit overwhelmed with the bike and I’m getting slowly use to it! One thing is for sure it’s a beautiful ride.

Teapot because there’s nothing quite like a nice cup of tea. Yorkshire tea is very nice. Born in London but now living in Reading Berkshire. I would like to meet a fellow RT rider who is more familiar with the RT

I think your comment is bang out of order and if this is the level of this forum I don’t think that I wish to remain!

I was genuinely curious as to why 68. Just asked in a tounge in cheek way. 
Everyone takes offence to different things so fair enough, but please don't  judge a forum by one comment from one member and look at other posts within forum and base your decisions on that.

Welcome, Teapot98. Do ask away with questions.


I live in North London, so not exactly round the corner, but I'm always happy to chat. Use the forum's private message facility to contact me.

Teapot68 I agree Bob21 was out of order, he was trying to be humorous but it rather back fired. However it's quite rare on this forum unlike others I can think of. We all including Bob21 generally are well behaved forum members and genuinely try to help others with their queries. So please hang around and enjoy the forum.
