Welcome mate.
Nice pics, good to see the sun out.
And don't worry, even some of us Aussies can't speak English.

Re: New member from Sweden.
Welcome, your bike is well set up, looks great.
The English can't speak English so don't worry.
E.G. Show me a 'J' in immediately
Now we know why the rear guard is so big, it's to fit the Swedish number plate

Re: New member from Sweden.
Thanks everyone for the very warm welcome...
To Gus: I really like the look of your bike... Twin headlights is on my wishlist...
To Re-Cycled: Yes, the Swedish number plate is very BIG and UGLY. (195mm x 155mm)
To sb1250: Winter is hard and long in Sweden, but summer is very nice and warm enough, around 25 degrees celcius.
Bike season is between april-september. Looking forward to riding my bike.
"Should take her out today as well, a bit cold but the sun is shining. 5 degrees celcius."
Cheers!

Re: New member from Sweden.
Thats the first IXIL pipe I've seen on a 1250 and it looks bloody nice. That number plate is HUGE! Even if you cut the rear fender to pieces that thing is nearly as big.

Yes it is very BIG and UGLY, but if i change it to a smaller "ILLEGAL" number plate does not make the police happy, the fines is very expensive....
