Hey guys

Post by Fireball »

Hi folks, its me again. Ray. Hows everyone? I,ve been missing for a number of years I think. Been a bit busy with life changes for a while.

Anyway, I still have the old Tuono but planning to get one of these new bmw S1000R street bikes soon once I can fork out about 12k. I,ve just changed my car so bike will have to wait for a bit longer. Take care, see u all soon.

Welcome on board, I have the S1R, and I have to say you won't be dissapointed. Can be nutty like the Tuono if you want, but a little less brutal on the arm sockets lol.
You can find some low mileage ones out there for a little over 10k.... Worth looking about. Very underrated machine for the money.

It was quite heavy for a couple of years mate but got over it in the end. Shit happens In life and we have to deal with it.

They say you have to have the bad times, so that you can truly appreciate that all the rest of your time is good time Fireball.
