Hello From Surrey, Again

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by SPMarshall, Mar 4, 2016.

  1. Hello All,

    I'm in the process of purchasing a 1299 Panigale. Presently, ride a Yamaha MT09, which I've had for nearly 2 years and enjoying.

    Prior to that had not had a motor bike for 30 some years. Passed my test when there was no CBT.

    You only live once they say!!!!

    Hope to find loads of useful information on the Forum.

  12. Just across the border that's at least 17 miles from me :)
     
  13. Hi Simon - I rediscovered biking after 30 years and also treated myself to a panigale (though just a 899). I live near Dorking - fancy meeting at Newlands corner for a coffee?
    Cheers

  14. Ohh another Box Hill convert I hope to see you here
     
  15. Mark,

    Sorry, not replied sooner. Been away over Easter with a Junior Rugby Team I assist with coaching and a bit busy. The rugby season will finish soon so a bit more spare time available. So happy to catch up sometime if before mid end of May will be my Yamaha and not Ducati which I've not collected.

    Regards,

    Simon
     
  16. Matt,

    With regard to your screen protectors which is the best for a Ducati Panigale 1299 clear or matt? Is there are major difference to the display in the sun and at night?

    Many thanks,

    Simon
     
  17. Hey Simon,

    I would recommend the matt finish for the 1299 as it works better with the colour dashboard. But if you wanted to place an order I could always supply one of each, just in case you weren't happy with the matt version you'd be able to fit the clear.
     
  18. Hi Simon
    I am away on business for a couple of weeks, but will be in touch when I return - would like to meet some other Riders now I have started again. Hope to see you in May

    Cheers

  19. Good that you found the Forum Simon, please excuse our Administrator (Dave) he's a proper rascal ;)
     
  20. Matt,

    Which one is in the video. How do I get the discount code. Have you thought about doing the same for Yamaha MT09. There are a few versions now not sure if the display is the same for all. I'd buy one.

    Regards,

    Simon
