Help, I Think I Want To Buy A Gs

Discussion in 'Other Bikes' started by Advikaz, May 25, 2020.

  1. It’s a bit like going out for a walk and seeing people coming the other way and saying ‘morning’. It’s a pleasantry that costs nothing but may make someone else’s day :)

  2. Just got back from a lovely 2 hours out on the Hyper. Only 2 bikes not to 'nod' were the two GS riders. Had a chuckle as I thought of this thread....
    Just remembered - even the one Harley bloke have me a nod:)

  3. Do you live near ducsud? Lol
     
  4. I don’t own a GS, a RT yes.
    For sure I don’t exchange pleasantries with random strangers, hell is other people. Lol

  5. You see bladders I’m excused on the grounds that we’re no longer knuckledraggers....least in my part of Englandshire.
     
  6. Ah, a ‘growler’ as they are known

  7. You say all this now but those things change people..i'm 51 now and while I am sure there may be a point when the GS looks like an attractive option (I already have the necessary beard) I am so bloody chuffed with my Hypermotard it won't be for a while yet...

  8. 0FEE5E66-2C17-42B8-A22F-5BD8DE336A76.jpeg Went to test my eyesight at a castle on Sunday. Pulled up on a bit of gravel for the view and 3 bloody GS’s were there all snuggled up. I was embarrassed and I was on my GS!! They’re bloody everywhere.

  10. Bit behind on this thread. However having tested all the Adventure bikes the one I ended up with was the Multi 1260s. KTM nice engine electrical problems all over the bike.
    I liked the GS and it is a good bike but doesn't excite. Whereby the Multi does.
    Just purchased a new Multi Grand Tourer. So my 2018 1260s Multi is up for sale !!!
     
  11. The S1000xr is heavily revised for this year. Could be a contender with improved suspension for a better ride quality and handling, less weight, slimmed down around seat/tank, and tft. Might book a test ride...o_O
     
  12. I have to say that on our recent tours, when you get a gaggle of GS's (is that the right collective noun?) together, they are aloof at best and rude at worst.
    We had a bit of a laugh with one of our group (on a GS) by commenting on how common they are though!
     
  13. A gaggle of GS's could possibly be "schwere Panzerabteilin"
    :D

  17. Oh my, this is nearly too easy. You are a copper right ?? Cause that is surely the only reason you'd buy one of those overweight fat plodmobils right ?? Do you have a fluorescent "polite" vest like all those other wanna be plod fuckers ?? What the actual feck is happening on this here tinterweb forum ??

    @Ducbird .... This thread has run its course, please close it as its bringing every fucking weirdo Panzer riding knobhead out of their closets. People will be leaving this forum in the millions when they find out what the feck is going on here. Close it babe, or you'll lose the forum. Close it now !!

  20. Nah I needed a cheap reliable motorcycle to commute between Home and Peterborough 200 Mile round trip every day for 9 Months. If I didn't use this heap of chite it'd be either my M900, Harley or KTM and I couldn't do that do any decent looking bike it'd be cruel and un necessary suffering.

    Although with the shiny thing up in the sky I've been adding miles to the Harley this week.

    The M900 is a garage Queen really which leaves the KTM for hooning.

    No I deliberately avoided buying a White version and don't wear hi vis other than at work.
