Thanks for the welcome, been spending some time on the UK Suzuki Owners Club DBs.  Good bunch with plenty of Bandit enthusiasts and tech info.  Just found this site through one of their posts. 

I have a K7 B1250S, on which I've done around 11,500 k's so far.  This is my second Bandit, the first being a K3 1200S, so you could say I'm a bit of a Bandit convert.  Really impressed with the 1250, in particular the torqy engine.  On the down side, the only thing I'm not a fan of is the seat.  I just find it too hard.  Overall, a great bike for the money.  :thumb:

I've made a few additions to my beast, including a rad guard, fenda extender, belly pan, hugger and DB screen.  Just waiting on a set of mirror extenders and that'll probably do.

I do a fair bit of touring, don't mind the cold weather, there's plenty of good riding around my neck of the woods.  What about you blokes!  :motorsmile:

How are ya bloke, i`m new to, so...tell me,whats the chance of get`n a hot lap in around the mountain, with out been nabbed, do you just have to be sly, or do the revenue raisers never leave the mountain,  as i`m guessing every tourist wants to do a lap.

Mate, you've got to be prepared to burn your licence for a hot lap of the mount!  The boys in blue keep a very close eye on that part of town.  :trustme:
