Hi Chap, you didn't say what GS you have, but like most GS's they tour,carry a pillion, handle and hustle well so most bases covered. So maybe a Faux Classic would be a good way to go, the Triumph ...

Cracking little bike, really looks the business. Are you in an urban environment? These smaller capacity bikes are much more user friendly in such conditions and great fun too, they really only loose...

I have a Carb Bonnie too, local chap (TTT Sudbury) is a bit of an expert with them , mine's now just under 70BHP (at the back wheel) and has rear Ohlins. The front suspension needs a little work but...

So, a modern Triton:dontknow:That would be interesting, where are all the customisers? Cheers, John B4

Well, A sad day last wednesday as said goodbye to my BMW R1150gs as she was loaded into a couriers van. I had her new in 2001 and we've been all over most of Europe and UK so loads of good memories....

Hi Chap, just re the Helmets, your local Fire Brigade station may be interested in those for training purposes, and I have seen bike gear in Charity Shops (rarely though!) Cheers, John B4

Is this a new model? I haven't seen one of those before, looks like a Honda 400/4 updated for today's roads. Hope you enjoy it, looks a cracker. Cheers, John B4

Wow, that would really annoy the IAM/ Advanced training mob, they don't like to see brake lights when "making progress" not even keen on settling the bike on rear brake before cornering! I can see...

That looks cracking, personally speaking I'd rather have one of those than a 4cyl, more torque and character (we didn't call them UJM's without reason:wink-new:) Cheers, John B4

Happy Birthday Chap, have great day. Cheers, John B4

Wow, that's impressive, I think when they were first released they were 61BHP so that's some gain. When I got mine the previous owner had done some mods to help it breathe better and it is quite...

Ta for responses, yes it was a while ago, just after we were allowed out from the 1st lockdown , and yes, It's a 790 Bonnie, apparently the older engines are eminently tunable......I'm just chuffed I...

Bloody Hell, it worked! (mine's the Bonneville btw) Cheers, John B4

Thanks Chap! much appreciated. Cheers, John B4

Picked up my BMW R1150GS (full title!) from Sawbridgeworth 20 years ago today (it was raining then too) Been all over the place, seen lots of things, met lots of people so priceless to...

Picked up an 1150GS, '02 plate with 48000 miles. Mechanically fine and serviced every year, but it's obviously been kept outdoors and cosmetically poor so I'm working my way through it.
As always...

Proper Bike too (although the Black ones are a little faster) Cheers, John B4

[QUOTE=Nealywheelie;5424520]My missus & I live by a busy road Essex/Suffolk border with a 30mph limit. There are many bikers during the day mainly weekends & BH's exceeding the speed limit, some by a...

What is it about gold rims on a bike (or a red italian car even) that makes them looks special, really gives them a lift. Cheers, John B4

re the Mesh jacket thing, I never understood why BMW (among others) opted for a waterproof inner! You have to take the jacket off to insert it which can be a pita if caught in sudden rain. I have an...

Popping over to a local Bike meet tonight (7-9) at The Red Lion, Stanningfield, any biking TZ'ers in Suffolk? Cheers, John B4

I have just tried the Knox Richmond Jeans, Great fit the top, however the chap I bought them from had the leg length shortened, but on the strength of a trip wearing them I have ordered a new pair...

Good luck with whatever you choose but maybe a couple of pointers.
Always see if you can get an extended test, 30mins on a sporty thing give little idea what it's like to live with, also allows you...
