    Hi folks, I’m from Northern Ireland, I’m new to biking & never been on a forum before ! I came across this while searching for help on a problem I was having with my bike. I’ve a 2016 street twin which is currently in getting spark plug problems sorted so fingers crossed all will be well !

    Welcome Lou, congrats on getting into the best hobby around, and the best forum ;)
    If you’re having problems with your new bike then start a new thread and I’m sure you’ll get some help. :grinning:

    Welcome to the family. I guess Lou is Louise. Great choice of bike you have there. I have read that quite a few had problems with the Plug caps arching out against the cam covers. Easy fix. Where do you hail from in Gods own Country. I was born and bred in Bushmills now an exile and sadly missing my lovely lands. And you are doing alright just keep on posting and don't forget a picture of the steed. Just hit the upload a file button bottom right and let all us inmates see the steed. Nursey also encourages it as she gets a quite night while we ogle it.
    Regards & Ride Safe
    Joe.

    Thanks Joe, yes it’s Louise. I know Bushmills well, I used to have a wee house in Portballintrae, love it there ! I’m from a wee village near Ballyclare if you know where that is. My son races motocross but I’ve never really rode, talked about it on & off, a friend bought me lessons for my 50th in May & here I am ‍♀️ I’m like Driving miss daisy at the minute but it’ll come, I love the bike & picking it up from workshop on Monday

    Yes I know Ballyclare. Yes you will get it and you will love the freedom of your bike. Portballintrae is a wonderful place and I to love it. There is a few members here from around your local area. Perhaps you will all get some sort of meet together. Next time I come home I will drop a note and hopefully we all can get together and shake hands. My brothers James and Andrew rode motocross think James still does and Andrews boys ride the junior class.
    Regards & Ride Safe.
    Joe
