Haha. Yea, I live in london but I have the mortgage to match. But I reckon you wanna swap the GS for a helicopter with all that mileage
.
Joking aside. I'm impressed with the milage you seem to get

It is simple really - instead of braking, you roll off the right hand early and over-run into bends junctions and roundabouts, by the time you get there you have had time to see a gap and not need to stop and just roll on gently, NOT accelerate. Most of my acceleration is done in 5th, gradual build of speed, rather than rapid acceleration - and keep the speed up to maintain steady but constant progress. Nothing clever, just not being impetuous.

strange how "kingrat" does all that mileage, and yet is frightened to ride onto a grassy field, yes, very strange,,
All tarmac though - that is the problem, no off road experience. Probably due to my fear....I need to overcome it.
That's all you need to do mate. You can do all sorts on Tourances. I rode the Strata Florida in the wet on my 1150GSA with an old set of tourances on earlier this year - only fell off once
. If I can do it then you can do believe me. You can't compromise all the 99% onroad travel for a few slow meters of a campsite field, that's mental. Even wet grass has more grip than a diesel/mud/s*it covered road and you've no doubt ridden through that. Just take it steady, you'll be fineAs for the rat thing - you're not a Black Rat are you then?

come on, a camping field is'nt off road, a few hundred yard's on grass, it's easy, been doing rally's for over 40 year's never managed to fall off yet (touch wood) and i'm no trial's rider, bike's used- panther, honda, triumph, etc, etc, all with road tyre's, it's easy just take your time, you'll get it,
