Hello All,
My name is Pete from Lancashire and I'm new to the world of the GS.
I'm not new to BMWs though as my Dad has had Boxers for thirty odd years and still owns a few air heads and a Brick.
Me and the wife get out as much as we can and after ten years of FJR and S10 ownership we felt a change was needed. I own a few Ducati's so first off we looked at Multistrada's, it was good but not brilliant. Then we had a go on a Triumph Exploder and we didn't like that at all.
"Mmmm, where to next" she said, "let's try the local BMW dealer".
So we took a 1250GS TE Exclusive out for the afternoon and both of us loved it. So after the usual dealer haggling a deal was done and we picked the bike up a fortnight ago. We've done about thirteen hundred miles on it since then with trips to the Lincolnshire Wolds and to the Borders to visit my parents and show off the new GS to my Dad.
So, thanks for letting me join and I look forward to perhaps getting out for a run with you guys soon.
Pete.
