Greetings from Weston-super-Mare

Hi guys

Earlier this month I picked up my 2018 821. I traded a Scrambler Icon for it. I'd really enjoyed the Scrambler, but wanted a little more top end.

As I got it before the end of the year I was also given a free quick shifter for it. I wasn't that bothered about it ... but it was free

Having said that, now that I've got it I really like it, and use it more than I expected to.

I've struggled to get miles on the bike with wet and/or salty roads, but I went out on Christmas Day and got my first hundred miles clocked up.

I did have a demo ride on the earlier model 821 Stripe, so I had an idea what to expect, but I'm loving this bike

Here's a picture from Christmas Day on Weston seafront. I'm also wearing my new Ducati Arai, which I bought using the helmet trade in deal

I’m local too you and often get out to the Weston bike Night. Come and say hello?

Shock horror I don’t get out during the rubbish weather although my bike is legal and ready to go!

Happy New Year

Go safe stay safe

Hello and welcome.
Weston is a frustrating place to be: you can see Wales, with its lovely mountains and roads, but it's such a long motorway drive to get there!

We often help with the marshalling for Weston Bike Night, so I'm sure we'll get to say hello at some point
