Re: Lincolnshire bike nights
That'll be three of us then - two in Louth and one a bit further north!
Best thing you could do going to LMT. Always had great service from Ian and his merry men.

Re: Lincolnshire bike nights
Hi Burgerman...how do you find the Silverwing compared to a Burger 400?? Or were you a 650 owner before? Depending on what is wrong with mine (this time!) I may consider a switch this autumn. I've heard the riding position is less generous. What sort of mpg do you get? I travel 30 miles a day to work and back so I do find the current 60/65 per gallon important

Re: Lincolnshire bike nights
Love it! Nothing wrong with the burger, (had a W reg 400) but most trips we do are 2-up, plus some touring, with panniers, so I fancied a bit more power. FI is a big bonus too, and I can get 50mpg, unless I want to 'give it some'!
I don't have a problem with riding position, but then again I am a short-arse (5' 8"ish!). Pillion person loves it, she was never too comfortable with the footrests on the burger, but the Wing's got pegs, so she feels more comfortable.
It's horses for courses really, but I don't regret changing. If we meet up any time, you'll have to have a look, see what you think. (Don't think you're too far away!!)
