Confession time......

[Trojan]

Hi all,

Well I have been lurking on the forum for a little while now, but I have had a dirty dirty secret.........I dont have a GS!

Until today that is

Rode the 50 miles home and I can honestly say if I was riding my GSXR I would have gave up halfway

Awesome bike, just need to get down to farkling.....

 

[rocky burns]

Now you have a Bm and are lucky to make it home












Enjoy your new ride

 

[Roberto]

.. and very nice it is too

Know what you mean, by the way. I've experienced the transition from GSX-R to GSX-Ouch.

Enjoy the new bike

 

[Ash]

Enjoy and ride safe

 

[SERVDAVE]

Enjoy your new bike mate! Plenty of farkles to be had!

 

[Micky]

Well done Trojan

Just nudging 84,000 miles on mine now and still giggle like a school kid when I ride it

 

[Nutty]

Happy new bike, early Christmas pressie?

 

[StumpyFingers]

A nice looking bike you have there.
I love mine to bits, the only bike I want to ride.

Atleast the snow has gone! Possibly the shittiest weather to ride a new bike in. Enjoy.

Thanks to all,

Yes it was a crap day to pick a bike up, 2 degrees and 80mph windchill

Then new tyres against snow, now that was fun, (still some left in the street I live in) but I can confirm the traction control stopped the bike getting away from me wasn't brave enough to try the ABS though!

In all very pleased, definitely needs hand guards and a bigger screen.

Waiting for Touratwat to stock their new crash bars both lower and uppers, and then I will be able to fit my Micro DE HID conversion

Very nice
I picked mine up December. 2009 in a blizzard so had to chuck it in a van. If you remember it snowed for about 2 months so I had a brand new f800gs all sparkly and clean in the garage with 2 feet of snow stopping me from having my first ride((

....good choice, the white ones go faster

 

[Trojan]

I know how you felt Shadwell, my commute is too far to risk the ice at the mo.

White almost certainly is the fastest colour

If anybody's interested Barkbuster UK won't have the correct fittings until early next year

So in the meantime I bought these:

Hopefully they will hold up until I get the Barkbusters

acerbis

I've put some of those on mine took a bit of 'tweaking' with the hot air gun to get them where you want them but they do the job

 

[GunZenBomZ]

Enjoy

 

[GS TRV]

nice colour

any pics of the GSXR?

 

[Trojan]

There you go V4, the GSXR is a very good bike but I looked after her too much! No rain/winter use etc.
In the the pic shes over four years old and still looks like new


Paul

 

[grin factor]

Bike looks lush, as does the gsxr for its age. Mate of mine had 1, handled very nice, but had to be revved to get the best from it.

 

[v8legend]

Enjoy

Hi Paddy. I'm glad to see you're back on here. Dare I ask if the bike's back on the road?
