Going on an adventure ey? How is B&Q these days? You could buy an SV for the price of all those ridiculous accessories!

How's about if your panniers or "I wish I was rogering Charlie Boormans missus" social airs cause you to filter at 3mph, then at least have the decency to get out of my f###in way!

I had a right loud "discussion" with a GS rider who almost took me out, pulling across in front of me to then turn left.

When I let him know my opinion of his riding, he pulled a warrant card on me and tried to caution me! I nearly fell over laughing 'cos he was an old office plastic cop and couldn't remember it!

Put him right where he belonged.

Do you HAVE to wear the Ewan and Charley overpriced BMW garb with them?

I overtook a group of riders in full offroad kit on GS BMWs..... on a firetrack....on an SVS....in race leathers I'd love to have seen their faces.

There are 'undreds of BMW bikes around Surbiton. I see them so often. Bumped into a guy at Newlands on a GS on Saturday- there was only him and a harley rider at the place at 11:30, so we had a quick chat and he headed off to Boxhill.

Then a guy stopped on a R1200 RT- he looked at my battle scarred SV and said 'nice bike'.

I was gobsmacked- didn't expect that and just didn't have a reply- just said cheers. Wanted to return the compliment, but didn't quite know how to other than, 'that looks like a bit of a beast'! (in a complimentary way).

I have to say though- far more pleasant to chat to than I'd expect from many BMW car drivers around here!!!

A mate of mine wants to get rid of his Ninja and get a Beemer again- the Ninja's too quick for him and I think he wants to go for 'steady comfort'! They're nice bikes- but not for me for a while...!
