I've been a lurker for over a year now since owning my 990.
I have used this site frequently and must say thank you to you all for taking time and sharing knowledge and how to's.
Ive benefitted lots from the advice on here, helping me understand my bike more.

I've finally joined as I have a question which after searching... I can't find the answer for....now where to post said question!

Thanks again everyone!

Also is anyone finding the 990 content being drowned out by the 1290?

Welcome!

Any technical questions just post in the technical section.
Don't think the 990 is been pushed aside, just that most (if not all) 990 questions have been answered (over and over again ) .
So search can be a great help.
Anything else just ask!

Welcome Dew Part
I take great bride in contributing to all things technical on both the 990 and the 1290. As a helpful search you may want to read up on my veritable smorgasboard of valuable information into the finest details of technicality.
When you finish with my extremely thoughtful and remarkable inputs you should jump on over to Stupid Lukes advice.
Do not post up any questions that have been previously answered or the wrath of SDNerd's hammer will smite you like Thor.
It is a great bike and you will be Big Guy on Campus a.k.a. BGC in known time.

Maybe Miff just misspelled Milf and Till death will do his part

Welcome. But why a lurker and not a contributor till now? Shy?

Hey Miff...wasn't me but happy to meet for a date

Hello and welcome
Which part of Manchester are you from?
There's plenty of useful information to be picked up from here, you just need to grow a thick skin if you like to ask questions!
A few 990's around in the northwest but I've still not seen a 1290 in the flesh...

Welcome to a great forum. I loved my 990s and now love the 1290. Both are great bikes in my opinion. Sure you'll have a ball with yours and if you ever head up to Scotland, God's country as far as biking roads go, give us a shout!
