Hi guys, I just passed my test recently and am waiting for the guys in Bologna to get back from holiday and build me a monster 821 Test rode the 696 recently (which is what my heart was originally set on) and then the 821 immediately afterwards, and given my newbie level of talent decided that the 821 was a bit more friendly (at least in urban mode which is what I rode it in) and so jumped in with both feet! Started down this road mainly for my commute into town, but I expect to get out a bit at the weekends now and again so maybe if anyone else is local I might bump into you at reigate/box hill sometime. Cheers, Al.
Get down to Box. Newlands is boring IMHO, lots of older stuff that barely runs. There is someone at Box pretty much every day from the forum through the summer.
