Hi folks and a Happy New Year to you all

. I'm the latest newy and I'm South Manchester based. I traded my Speed Triple in for a 1200r last year at Duc Manchester and have accumulated a staggering 260 miles so far

(work, weather etc). Looking to at least double it in 2018 on weekend ride-outs etc

. Still waiting for Santa to drop my Spark exhausts down the chimney but I've posted a picture of what it should look like. (If it doesn't appear it's because I don't know what I'm doing)

Hope to meet up with some of you soon. All the best for the New Year

Hi Marc and welcome along....keep an eye out for posts regarding ride outs in the North West...I have a suspicion you may have met mutley already !

We have our first monthly meet at the lockgate on Sunday 7th, you will be most welcome.

Hey thanks Moco and I'll try and get there and see if I recognise you! The forecast is good.

Hey Mike, if that's the Coffee Shop at Tarporley, the web site says it re-opens on the 10th?

Hi Mark the lock gate cafe is on the side of the A49 just before the railway bridge at the bottom of the hill in Beeston and that's were we'll be next Sunday.

It's great that you've joined our group but it's even better that at last someone has desided to get the high level Spark exhaust system that really is the mutts and the only one that I'd fit if a 1200R resided in my garage.

Hi Marc, the Lockgate coffee house is Beeston, as Geoff has said, A49 just before the railway bridge on the left when travelling southbound.I will mail Laura to double check she is open.

I think that you'll find that most of us will be on four wheels, it's the good company that matters...

and will be great to see you again...

Marc......I owe you an apology sir, I have had an e-mail from Laura who has confirmed the Lockgate is indeed closed until the 10th of January , well spotted.

I will re-post the north west thread now to cover as many bases as possible, thanks for being so observant, I hope you can make the 14th so I can buy you that apology.....or coffee as we also call it

Hey no problem Mike, glad to be of some use to the group. 14th is fine for me so all's good. Thanks for arranging and look forward to the meet.
