hello from Australia

Postby capt howdy » Thu Jun 22, 2017 2:17 am

Hello all. I have just bought a 2009 HP2 Sport and know relatively little about it's quirks. From reading the net there certainly are some but I do know that I love the bike. I also have a 2008 K1200R that I have had since new and done 90000km. I have learnt a lot about the k12 from being a forum member and hope to do the same with the HP2. I hope to be able to make a useful contribution to this forum

Yep all relative :-) 10c as we start out & 25c by lunchtime ATM, & I love it. Anything <30c with low humidity is pretty damn good for riding & we get that 9 mths of the year :-)
