I joined the org in april 2010, a couple of months before this my girlfriend said I could have a motorbike when her inheritance came through. First of all I bought a few motorbike mags as I was well out of touch with newer bikes I narrowed it down to BMW k1300gGT (for touring) and a B-KING, well I decided I wanted a B-KING but when I showed it to my girlfriend she said it was ugly and what about that one which turned out to be a hayabusa (I don't know how I missed it) and that's how it started. Well she got the money on december the 23rd and after she ordered all her new furniture and gave our six kid some money we went and looked at a few dealers online, one dealer had one for £9500 but was closed over christmas and the new year and was opening again on the 4th of january, but by that time VAT (value added tax) was going up so the bike would have cost £275 more so I found another dealer and phoned them up and they said they could do it for £9473 on the road so I ordered it. I had R&G fairing protectors put on and a Datatool alarm fitted. Then I looked on the web and found the best prices for all the other things I wanted. I got a Tom Tom urban rider satnav, fork protectors, cotten reels, ride on ,alpha dot, oxford monster lock and chain, Oxford omega disk lock, sidi streetburner boots with free gloves, Gremlin bell, buffalo Textile jacket and trousers (I'm too fat for leathers at the moment), tyre gauge, electric pump and oxford bike cover as my garage has not arrived yet. Then went down the shop and got a Cabrerg crash helmet for me and a Duchinne one for my girlfriend. Also got full insurance for £512 for the year. The Bike arrived on the 10th of january at 9am but the ironic thing is it's raining so much I haven't ridden it yet what with the new tyres as well; So I went down the pub instead. It feels a bit strange because I haven't rode a bike with a fairing before. I can't wait for It to stop raining so I can have a go. Here's a pic, I will post some more later.
