Hello and welcome to the world of GSing. I welcome you lot as newbie's and blame Ewan for taking the GS away from it's cult status and in to the mass market contrived pile of crap that it's become today. Who are you lot anyway? Where did you come from? What do you want?
I know what you want. I can tell from the posts on this forum that the most popular section is GS or not 2 GS. That's because you all love reinforcing the idea that the image you are cultivating with your new GS's and TT goodies are distractions for you that enable you NOT do deal with your mid-life crisis. You're the same people who read magazines that give things marks out of ten. I know this because you're also the same lot that move their lips when they read. You gather at bike haunts and strike up conversations with phrases like "Please with that bike then?" But the bike isn't enough. Oh no. It's only half of the package. Who'd own a GS without the obligatory GS friendly rags. The Hein Gericke Rallye suit or the origanlly named BMW rallye suit. How about an Arai Tour X helmet? Or maybe a Shoei Syncrotec for the more reserved amongst you. But instead of uniting with your chosen image you bitch. 50cc is better. Black ones are faster. Lighter is best. TT tankbags or you're not in the club. Hope you're starting to see a picture building here. Because that's all it is. A picture of your alter ego as you ride past the shops and checkout your reflection in the windows. Feels good eh? Sidi couriers to Aria Tour X. What it all about? Eh? Not the BIKE me thinks.
