| Welcome SPCK111 to the best SWing site on the net. That's a nice looking SWing you have. I know you'll get many fun years out of it. |

| Hi SPCK111, from another owner from the SE of the UK, Selsdon near Croydon, more precisely. Often ride out with another local mate from Crawley, so I am guessing you are not so far afield. Both of us are new to Swings, Ray having come from an ST1300 and I have a Goldwing and a Pan European too.
Maybe catch you around sometime.
Cheers,
Pete |

| In all my 55 years of riding, I am totally sold on my SW. It is the most comfortable touring bike I have owned. Previous bikes have owned ST1100 and last one ST1300 + many more.
I am looking forward to traveling down the Burt Munro (the worlds fastest Indian) rally next Feb. That will take me at least 3 days to get there. Both my sons who also ride bikes are joining me on the trip. Yea.
Only 2 mods to the bike. I added and extra 100mm to the front screen height. Wow what a difference. Also added an hi stop/indicator unit to the back of my helmet, blue tooth controlled from the bike. Be safe. be seen. |

| Hello from South Dakota, USA. I know you’ll like the SW. it’s a blast to ride. I just had new tires and drive belt put on mine so it’s ready for a few miles. Plan on making a trip to the Black Hills before it turns too much colder. Welcome to the forum.

| Thanks for all the reply’s . It’s going back tomorrow for a minor oil leak from somewhere dripping down by the oil drain plug. Two fork seal dust seals and a funny honk type noise when I sharply open the throttle at about 30mph, sounds like a duck in the drive. Lol. All under warranty. Yeaaaaa |
