Hello all. I just traded in my '06 K1200R (too sporty) for a lovely '06 R1200GS and had my first ride a couple of days ago - with my IAM observer Chris (fellow GS owner who recommended this site) and I have to say I feel 100% more comfortable on the GS. In fact I just posted a video on YouTube (search for my channel 'Stu Peters' and you'll see a couple of bike videos).
I'm doing the IAM advanced rider course as I'm only a born again fair weather hobby biker and I'm not half as confident on a bike as I am in a car, and being old I want to avoid gravel rash (or worse) if I can. But being in The Motorsport Capital Of The World it would be rude not to enjoy the occasional bimble with pals.
Anyhoo, that'll do as an introduction - I'll probably annoy people with dumb questions in the fullness of time...
