I remember that… Performance Bikes rode it and in the article showed a pic of their test rider holding 2 sacks of potatoes, representing the weight they’d shaved off the TT bike.

End of an era. After 5 GSA`s, today i test rode the R1250 RT & absolutely loved it. What a cracking ride. So, today I ordered a new one and PX`d the GSA. Vines of Guildford. Brilliant service as usual. New chapter for me.

I was looking at the K7 or the N1 if the insurance didn't return my K3 (returned and fitted to the replacement bike).

Just had a few days in the Ardennes, perfect weather. Stayed in one of the Campanile chain hotels as our hotel in Mons cancelled the booking at short notice.

Cant recommend it, restaurant was crap. Shut at 9 and only had frozen pizzas.

Luckily there was a good Morrocan restaurant nearby.

That's the problem with these motels. When I stay at these I always go to the Coop or shopping centers for fresh cheap meals. Enjoy your trip

It was a nice ride with only very light rain.
Untill i got 3 miles from home and it pissed down.
Then about 1 mile from home it was bone dry.
Bloody summer weather :lol:
