Hello from Glasgow :)

Hi all ,
Picked up my new 1200 R on Friday, after 7 years of Streetfighter 1098S life . Love the bike, it's so much more stable than the SF , feels like it's got more beef to the front end than the SF had , the steering always felt too light.
I often found myself 10 bobbing bends more often than not ! . Probably should have had the thing set up by a pro , but too busy with fish suppers , and more important things
Anyway, went up to Ullapool on Saturday and stayed the night , then headed home next day , while my 4 friends went right on up to Thurso, Durness etc .
The left hand mirror came loose on the way home , and was swinging about like a fairground ride, that really bored me . I'll post some pics here , with a word of warning to any current , or future owners ...........get a radiator guard fitted before you do anything !
Got home and found I had a pinhole in it , and was spraying coolant all over the front left disc
It was only about a 2mm gash on one of the tubes , so I've repaired it with some high temp putty , and will find out the price of a new one tomorrow.
I'll have a bash at some pics (been a while ) cheers ,
Stewart .
