Thanks all for the welcome - nice to see it's friendly in here!
Baz - I'm also in that neck of woods.. I sometimes hear what sounds like a big Duc rumbling along but haven't seen you/it yet. But yes, a ride out would be good.
Itguy - nice one! It was really hard when choosing what colour to get but in the end it just came down to I'd had a white bike before so choose red for a change. The white/red frame & wheels certainly stands out nicely
Sunday brekkie run sounds like a good idea so hopefully I'll make that.
I'm getting some miles in this week just to get a hang of the little Monster. I'm finding I can lean a lot more through the bends than the V7 could - I just need to trust myself to do it! Anyway, all in good time & in the right place
And yes, lots of great pubs about - cheers!
