first big weekend ride

adamneeds · Oct 20, 2008

well i collected my gs on the tuesday of last week

and decided to use it for its proper purpose over the weekend to test it

so friday was a boring motorway slog to aylesbury after work

saturday was a ride from aylesbury to boxhill-Newlands corner-foxs dinner
and back to oxford eversham pershore bromyard

and sunday was offroading in wales think i did about 400miles

i am so impressed i knew that a gs was the right move in its all round abilty

you dont get stopped

you dont draw attention to yourself you dont get branded a yob and you can still have fun

incase you cant tell i love it and it does offroading on road tyres as well

planning a trip to france soon as its great

Looks like you had a lot of fun but your a braver man than me going through that water

You`d get on well with Mav

Don`t venture too far off road on my GS-A any more after a few big offs but they do it pretty well!

Get some TKC`s which transform the bike off road.

Great shots and well done on using the bike for what it's designed for :clap

You'll have to come out for a play on the lanes next time :thumb2

let me know when

may still be on road tyres yet

but its main use will be for road touring

my other toy will proberly become my dedicated off road bike

Can feel a day out on the Welsh mountains coming on

Louisdut, get your maps out???

Mav · Oct 20, 2008

Louis is on his way to Libya

And I'm stateside for 3 weeks :tears

But, even without Louis, we could sort a day trip out for Nov 22nd? In fact, it will probably be safer without Louis :augie

Crikey! You wouldn't catch me tackling that terrain on those tyres.

In fact you'd be hard pushed to catch me tackling that terrain on TKCs if I'm perfectly honest.

well count me in for the 22nd

and momentum is the key

and slowing everything down

when needed not when climbing steep hill thou
