WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE THINGS ABOUT THE GS: A great bike to ride, well engineered.

[Jurgen]

Folks do you always provided personal information so easily?

All be it for a useful project!!

Scammers Beware!

Yes, full of intimate personal details, like, am I married, am I a man, do I ride a bike?

Indeed, plenty of access to the bank accounts there.


I ride a Tiger, oddly enough it's British, I'm German, see how that comes out of the calculation. I'm not married, as same sex weddings aren't allowed. Somebody explain the class system please.

HTH

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE THINGS ABOUT THE GS: That it's the Land Rover of bikes. Its tough, rugged and can go anywhere.

BMW Babe - Whats your next step - manually pull all these answers into your presentation? tut tut - now I would expect that at GCSE level, possibly, but A-level? And within two weeks of starting school as well.... You should have thought out your data collection a little more thoroughly.... a simple Zoomerang or "Survey Monkey" survey would be free to construct, would have allowed you to provide single and multiple choice answers and would have provided basic reporting capabilities as well....all at no charge.

The forum was recommended to me by my ICT teacher, who happens to be a GS rider, hence the project. I also thought I'd go straight to the source, rather than faffing around with poncey surveys that nobody would fill in. Basically, I needed the results quickly and easily, and it'll take me about ten minutes to compile the data into some spiffy looking graphs.

Also, the little questionnaire wasn't mandatory, but I needed to make a target audience piece for the spec. and figured the most accurate way to do it would be through asking riders.

well my last bike was a chituma, yep i did mean chituma so anything has to better.There's nothing wrong with another mid-life thing anyway.

My profession is in the creative line.

At leest i dunt tipe lyk a ttl reetard lyk most of ma m8s do.

Personally, I find it quite annoying when anyone types in 'chatspeak', so I type long hand all the time, except when making a point. So what if I go a little overboard with my commas? Who are you, the grammar police?

Good answer! I think you will fit in here just fine! Welcome aboard!

[Flying banana]

41 years young.
Bought it 'cos I'd always wanted an 1150GS. Looked at cheaper alternatives, nothing inspired me as much, so gave me right arm to the dealer instead in payment.
Its fugging ugly, but a right laff to ride, does what it says on the tin, comfortable to ride, and relatively cheap to run, bearing in mind I commute 45 miles a day on it.
Middle class.
Law enforcement.
Male (last time I looked, anyway)
Married, God 'elp me!

Good luck with the project.
