First ride on my GS

[phy5ic5]

Been on tender hooks all week; with the bike sitting waiting in the garage.. So today was the day... Never even had a GS test ride, just sat on a friends bike to be sure I could reach the ground.. been riding Jap inline 4s all mt biking life and was expecting a slight baptism of fire...

No... It's a pleasure to ride. Just Very different

It's gonna take a fair few hours in the saddle before I can make the thing hustle.. but it's gonna be a warm, comfy, feeling smug as I pass shop windows few hours...

Few pics from my trip across devon.

loving it..

Oh dear oh dear oh dear, another one bites the dust.

cut up your credit cards NOW

start thinking of excuses for riding the thing

get some knobblies

and waterproof boots

and wipe that silly grin off yer face

Try the road from Minehead to Lynmouth - I expect you know it well - you'll soon appreciate the handling

After many years on Jap fours, it took me roughly 1200 miles before I felt completely at home on my 1150 phy5ic5, although the jump from a Jap bike to a 1200 may not be quite as far.

Anyway, enjoy your new mount. May you have many safe and trouble free miles ya Tosser.

Good to see you bought the fastest GS12: Yellow with alloys...
