hi all,
my names david, i live in sunny bristol, and have just bought my 1st vtwin , i rode a few tls and tlr and a ktm superduke and a buell but that wasnt fun , so i bought a rsvr 03 colin edwards rep, i never rode a big aprilia so should be fun, but when i was 18 i had a rs 125 and af 125, i take delivery on wend between 10-12, my last bike was a 98 R1 and i had a GSXR 7/11 before that, everything i owned before this was a in line 4, as i never had a rsvr before i wouldnt like to break it because of lack knowledge about these bikes as they are true beautys.................so any tips please............
i will be looking forward to riding to the bulldog this year:thumbup
and maybe a few ride outs if the missis lets me:doug
so hello and stay safe
 
Welcome to the forum and Vtwin ownership, keep the oil topped up, service her regular and you wont have any problems mate :thumbup:thumbup
 
Welcome to the site mate. All I would say is take it easy at first to discover the differences between what you're used to and the RSV. As you settle with the bike start to explore! :thumbup
 
ow doo and a handsome beast you have there.
Welcome to the site and have fun:thumbup
 
Welcome fella, lots of info and tips on here, so trawl through all the posts. Njoy :thumbup
 
thank you for all the love people, i feel all warm and welcome, ill post some pics when i get me beasty on wend, just insured it and it was 1056 english pounds for fully comp, im 27 this year 4 years n/c/b<but a crash going through court at the mo> immob+alarm on bike plus kept in a stone garage, i tryed getting more discount by telling them about my big dog but the lady on the phone was having non of it, so i paid the 120 pound to add it up for the last 2 months, hopefully there should be a day or two of sunshine in those two months, and i only got this bike cos i was paid off from work so i though fook it , look forward to any ride outs people are up for this summer
