Hi Folks,

Name is James and I'm from Cork, Ireland. Always used this site for info/help so figured time I join. Love enduro and road racing, only partake in enduros though ?

I drive a 2018 Te300i, pic below.

Thanks,
J

Welcome. Nice to hear from someone from the Emerald Isle. That's a nice ride. ?

Cheers guys, some lovely enduro offroad spots about 30mins from my home so I'm hooked.

If anyone is over this way drop me a PM ?

Welcome to TT James! Being you have been a lurker, you already probably have a good feel for the place. Glad to see you actively participating. Cheers!

If I ever make it out that way. It's on my bucket list to go see Ireland and the TT races.

We go to TT every year, the best motorsport spectacle I've seen. The buzz on the Island is amazing.

I’ve only been to Dublin and Belfast, but I fell in love with Ireland, Irish people, and the local food. I did notice how beautiful the country is and thought to myself... there’s some good riding here I bet. Welcome to thumpertalk. I’ve learned a lot of helpful stuff from this site. Enjoy.

Hello James, nice bike (of course, I'm biased, have the same bike in a '19)

I've toured through your part of Ireland, loved it. Been to the IOM TT twice as well.

Cheers

[James F]

Thanks for all the warm welcomes, its much appreciated. 

@WRider995 Cork has alot of forestry close by so plenty of single tracks, mix of everything.

@Older Rider Thanks, I love the bike..... Plan is do another season and go for a 2020. I heard the 2020 bikes are going to increase again in price though

Thanks man, how do you find the bike? I think the 2020 bikes in the EU are going up in price again next July.

[tswitzreturns506]

James, i had ordered it through my local dealer...ya their bound to go up in price each year...just the way it is.....perfecting does cost...yet sucks on wallet...can be a trap!
