Room for one more??? its a really sad day! I've just watched my trusty triumph disappear up the road with its new owner :( . Picked an 04 GS1200 up yesterday and if it wasn't lashing it down I'd be out there getting used to it.
 
Hello and welcome, I wouldn't bother waiting around for the sun :nono :cool: the gs is probably the best all weather bike around :thumb , you'll enjoy it whatever the weather :D , then you'll soon forget the Triumph. :rolleyes:

Shep :bounce1

Oh...the whingeing will soon start again................. :beerjug:
 
Heyup Mr Custard, are you any relation to Mr Pastry? and would you be one of the Birds Custards or the Ambrosia Custards? :loopy
 
Upset me!!!! With a wife who rides a ducati and 3 teenage kids, I'm just happy to have some hair left :D .

Definatley the custard cream as a morsal of choice as my waistline is a testement to.

Any similarity to Mr Pastry are purley coincedental, 'my dads never heard of him'!

Poole Quay starts again in April on Tuesdays :beerjug: , any of you guys up for a meet up down there one night?
 
heyup Mr Custard - welcome aboard. GS1200 - bestbike I ever owned - altho I was never 'privileged' to own an 1150 so what do I know?

Anyways I've never had more fun on a bike (maybe once on a JAWA 350 outfit in Cyprus - but the engine wasn't running at the time - come to think of it I can't ever remember the engine running).

Pooel Quay - done it a few times - definitely up for that - God is it nearly April already?

Cheers
 
All the Triumphs have gone??

I sold mine too (Sprint ST). It's the best bike I've ever owned but wouldn't do the crap roads that are planned in 2008 riding across Russia. I collect the GS this weekend and am looking forward to getting it run in. We're off to Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, :thumb Holland and back at the end of April. Should be well and truely run in by then!!

It's supprising don't you think quite how many of us sold a Triumph to get a GS :mmmm Could it have been that little niggle in the back of your mind, (Why are my panniers full of water again?) :mmmm

It definately aint the way the Triumph rides. Handeling and reliability are spot-on :thumb :bounce1

I allways worrid about the quality of the plastic parts that coverd it, Which was a shame cos otherwise it was a great bike. :thumb
But I luvvv my 12GS :bounce1 :bounce1 :bounce1

Welcome aboard Mr Custard.

Just a little advise with the 1200 GS, You might want to wear waterproof trousers if the road surface is wet, even if theres no rain :confused: Don't let it get you down just give the Duchman a call :)
Have fun.
