first big bike was a Suzuki gxsf 1300 lol not a great starter bike looking back but I liked it.
second bike a Honda blackbird, loved it until it got wrote off by a smidsu I think the term is.
Third bike Suzuki V-Strom 650 (47.000 miles on her) a great bike but I started touring Europe and with all my camping gear etc and the autobahns she was under powered so I
traded in for -
fourth bike a 2005 bmw r1200gs (28.000 miles on her) brilliant bike and never let me down and toured 9 different countries on her but she was started getting old and a few things started to go wrong with her and I came into some ££££ so traded her in for my -
Fifth bike which I've only had a month a bmw r1200gs adventure the last of the oil cooled models.

Hi and welcome from just down the road, one of my favourite joys is riding over the Humber bridge, not paying and then going back. Simple things amuse simple minds I suppose. Booked onto the ferry to Rotterdam in June so will be doing the bridge again. Had a cracking ride up thro hull and up the east coast just before Chrimbo, beautiful area.

Welcome Kev,

Good choice of bike, although I no longer ride a GS, the last of the oil heads would be my choice if I ever returned to them. Explorer and Guzzi 1200 sport these days.

Don't be put of by the idiots on the site, you'll soon discover who they are, it's a fantastic resource and there's always someone willing to give you a hand if you get stuck with anything.

Great site for top tips and advice, lot of micky taking. Make good use of selling and buying its more reliable than ebay and you will meet some great people through it.

Well, I didn't expect a 650 to be so troublesome. (PS It wasn’t in the end)
