NEW MEMBER FROM PAKENHAM VICTORIA
Hi everyone.
I have been reading the forums for a while now and thought I had better join up!!!! This bike is my all time favourite having owned cruisers and sports bikes. I have owned my 2009 Bandit 1250S for just over a year now and love every minute on it. Love the torque and instant power when you need it. The only thing I disliked about the bike was the way the handle bars are bent inwards too far. I looked at all the options of buying a new set but couldn't really find anything that suited so I decided to modify the stock bars which has worked out perfect!!! Only thing I have done on the bike is fit a Yoshi SS pipe and fitted some heated grips because I can't go all winter without riding the beast. Cheers Andy.

Welcome to the forum
Hope I am doing this the right way???? I would be happy to catch up for a ride one day. What area do you live? What is your favourite ride? The last ride I have been on was a 2 day Alpine ride about 6 weeks ago so I am hanging out to get back on the bike. I have just done a 12000 K service on it with oil and filter, plugs and a new rear tyre. Cheers Andy.

My favourite day ride is Berwick-Worri Yallock-Healsville-Marysville-Reefton-Launching Place-Gembrook-Pakenham then home.
Would love to do the Alpine ride one day, just need to find the time.

Re: NEW MEMBER FROM PAKENHAM VICTORIA
That is my favorite ride too!!! As well as adding in King lake and Yea in the loop.
Me, my brother and a mate do the Alpine ride every year around March so I will keep you posted when it is if you would like to come along.
Let me know when you get time, and we can head out for a ride some day. What model Bandit do you ride? Cheers Andy.

Sounds like a plan, do you get any time off during the week? I prefer the spur ride on weekdays less idiots out there.
I ride a 2011 GSX1250FA

Re: NEW MEMBER FROM PAKENHAM VICTORIA
Me too on the mid week ride. I usually use my RDO to get out there. How about we keep an eye on the weather and pick a good day to go. Then I will try and get the day off.
Cheers Andy.
