Got to agree with the tyre point.Get some sporty one's on a GS and from what I have read you will have one hell of a bike. The handling limitations offered by the normal GS tyres just deprive the owner of so much more.

Unfortunately the best tyres available for the GS are 020s (and even then the compound is a little harder I believe), and this is due to the wheel/rim sizes. Swap over the wheels from the ST (17" wheels with 180 & 120 profiles) and you could put on whatever you fancied. I'm amazed that BMW can't see that a lot of peeps out there want a supermoto/real-world bike and not an off-road pretender.

Doing what I want to do to a GS would probably mean an extra 5k on top of the purchase price, which makes it one hell of an expensive motorcycle.

*Note to self, pull your finger out and work harder .

Marko,

Now that Lichfield is out of the way opens up no doubt many possibilities for you?!

Just out of interest mate,are you getting interest from bikers wishing to buy your pics? Do you have one of those sandwich board things telling them in advance that you are there? If not how can they get themselves ready fo a pose as they pass you?

Peter.

It's been ticking over quite nicely sir

not in a position to pack my day job in though but it makes enough to buy the odd bit for the camera or bike.

next year when the season starts I will be advertising a lot more (this year it was basically word of mouth and a few little fliers at the cafe and in the local bike shops.

If you read the feedback I think people are genrally satisfied with the product.

its great cos i get a run out and also have fun with one of my hobbies .

Rich... I'm really sorry

Am I the only one that can't see the difference between them?

Oh oh, yours is dirtier? Jonboy might be able to help you with that - you'd best lend it to him!

Sorry

No, there are considerable differences. Dr Rich is obviously a man of motorbicycle couture. There may be many tiny details but it's the details that make the difference .
