Good afternoon

[mongo]

Good afternoon, i thought i would sign up to this site since returning back from my trip to southern spain and my consideration for a GS.

I done the trip on my zx10r and some of the roads we took, while ideal for a sports bike, however doing 450 miles to 500 miles a day on some tight twisty mountain passes killed my wrists :

Thankfully i never had to take my partner however it would be nice to maybe make some trips in Scotland with her and maybe a bit of off road as well, hence why i am now thinking of adding a GS to my garage. Im not sure just yet on what one i am going to go for or what my budget will be!

Cant beat riding in 40 degrees centegrade, apart from when you stop or have to go through towns!

i didn't think anyone was actually going to click on the link to check the other pics out!!!

My buddy rides his harley like a lunatic and the harley done just fine, amusingly! The trip was to take in what was around, not the normal sportsbike riding pinned throttle (only occasionally on some of the nice twisty stuff).

Which is why i would like something like a GS to do this on.... I think i'll look for an 02 or 03 GS 1150.
