Fair play on your ability/restrictions at the moment, your organizing it, you do what you want/need. Im a big boy and more than happy to look after myself and like i said id meet up at stops if enough people coming.

bike now MOTd and back on the road. Available for 6th as far as aware but need to check with catering and hospitality manager b4 commiting to anything. :lol: In all honesty the propposed route as stands does not float my boat,being to short and main roads for my appetite. However haveing said that w...

I cant explain any better than the video you have. but ive found to wiggle and move up and back a bit works fine for me.

Not sure if able to make it yet but happy with longer ride, as Mike i would leave when felt like it if needed, but im happy long days in saddle just dont like main roads as fall asleep.

Didnt realize he did, in all honesty never asked. Decent bloke with replies and offers of help. Honestly wish hadn't started but so glad now. Tank on so just plastics to go and fingers croosed all good.

First replaced under warranty at 30,000 miles along with control box. Dodgy electrics somwhere had been going on since newish with warning symbol until rear failed which was replaced b4 30,000 miles. When polised exhaust couple weeks ago noticed front was leaking, now on 65,000 miles.

Had fun day changing front shock for a Tractive unit. 3rd shock so 3rd time lucky i hope, as dont fancy doing again although would be a lot easier after practicing.
Get well soon Glen.

Would be interested in a day meet up but at the weekend only, Majority rule as they say but more than happy to wait (as stated by the organiser) till the end of the month to give others a chance to reply.

Easy to check past posts of anybody and make your own decisions to purchase from someone. Buyer beware was always installed onto me.

In Wales??!!!!!!!!! not going to happen

try insurance comparrison between both models. Ok Gs riders drop them more but almost double when I tried. Gs definatly more disirable to thiefs as biger market in devlopiping world. I would prefer gs to rt on mud roads.

mine lasted over 6 years, never charged it, just rode it. No tracker which eats batterys.

If anyone is willing to offer a local to them day ride out, then others could meet up on the day or if further away, stop overnight as necessary. Just pick a start point, time & date, it's as simple as that. Accomodation to be arranged by others themselves, not the day ride leader. Thats all ve...

just had a mare doing mine kept crashing. in the end deleated old map in basecamp and installed just to computer. went back to basecamp and to maps where it gave me option to install to nav. Interestingly it said it had done it but wasnt showing 2025 in maps so back to express and this time it dowlo...

Hmmm went to the dark side and test rode gs 1300. Loved it. Did find shaft housing catching heel. Rapid and wind protection good on top half. Apparently recall on top case and panniers on back order.
Then went for ride, lots of flooded roads and snow around Longleat.
