Richard Hammond MCN this week

[snoopy]

I have one in that price range, though admittedly I dropped it yesterday and it now has grass stains on the head cover. Because of this I would accept £90.

Yes but yours will only get 10mpg after the fuel filter fiasco

Perhaps he has problems because he is a short arsed little w*nker and the GS is really just a fashion accessory for him to make him look rough and tough like the rest of us owners?

Yup - SPS, and he's DEFINITELY trying to over-compensate with the bike, cars, teeth, etc.

Unfair or not, I have no problems with the trade & media putting pressure on BMW to maintain/improve standards. Just as I would have no argument if GS sales dropped 'cos the price was too high.

I am shocked to hear that it was the vastly superior 1150, though Do you think Hammond was confused as to which model he owned?

Well yeah, but after this weekend of correction it wont be so

I just can't wait to take the tank off again...

Hi.Just trying to help out here but I'll be doing some landscaping in my garden during august and will happily bury one of those worthless GS oilheads under a path if I get the time should anyone be wanting to offload one in a hurry.

Quite right to any manufacturer that agrees to fix a problem outside of normal warranty timescales should be censored immediatly

I have to say that I have been surprised at the number of little problems that have arisen in the last year. And the dealer saying 'Oh yes, that is quite common - that will be £350 please...'

My ancient ZZR has been ridden by my witless, wheelieing, son for the last year and all it needed for MoT was a rear hoop.

Still lover riding it.

My favourite journalistic write-up was from a well known magazine that promotes very fast motorbikes; especially the new 3grams lighter, 2mm narrower models that can go round Caldwell faster than last years model, which is Soooo passe since it's in last years colours.
When Kar Lee (stand up and be counted that man) ballsed his test ride of the R1150GS (off road) he couldn't hack it; it spat him off and broke his collar bone.

I promised myself that I would buy one of them.
So i did

......................He's an opportunistic sycophant journalist and extremely annoying high pitched daytime TV loser, so no you don't care........and neither do I
