Gsx-8R

Our ride today took us near my Suzuki dealer so we popped in for me to look at the GSX-8R. I like it better than the 8S, the front end looks much neater. When I sat on one it wasn't an extreme...

Caught a McLaren on my GSX yesterday

I suppose, in the spirit of full disclosure, I should add it was stopped at a railway crossing. It was just sat there emitting vast quantities of heat rearwards and a loudish burble noise. Which...

Re: 60°F/16°C March 13 Cleethorpes

60°F/16°C March 13 Cleethorpes
