YET ANOTHER GS SITE

Well why not, its a great bike and I love it. Maybe, as it's critics will tell you, it's popularity is due to Long Way Down but so what. The series proved the GS could handle everything from tarmac to mud to sand, carry a massive load and still be fun.

If you saw this for sale here it has now ben sold and my wife is driving a lovely new F650 GS Twin

D-Day Ride Out

What a great weekend. Over 100 bikes descend on Le Touquet over the D-Day commemoration weekend.

Thanks to the main sponsors, South London Motorrad, and Knobblies Club for a great route and a boozy Saturday night.

It was my wife's first time driving abroad and my son-in-law's first time on a pillion so memorable time for every one.

My Bikes

My first bike (and I hate to admit it) was a Lambretta 125. It got me through the very simple bike test in 1964, got me to work and carried a friend and myself on a touring holiday but I soon discovered the advantages of a 'proper' bike when it was exchanged for a new Ariel Arrow Sport.

The Ariel led to a BSA Gold Flash with single seat sidecar which was used for road trials, the National Rally (tough on 60's machines) and a trip to the Isle of man.

Marriage, family and company cars resulted in a gap in biking but eventually I came back with a Yamaha XT250 which was fun but useless for anything practical, followed by increasingly larger bikes including a VFR and an FJ1200.

A bored Saturday in October 2005 found me at a South London Motorcycles open day and a test ride on a GS and the delivery of my brand new BMW the next month.

A pipe, slippers and a Boxer engine, what more can a man want.
