Or should I say poached!

Greetings All.

Look forward to getting involved.....  Clocked over 70,000 miles on three GTR's and done everything from touring Europe to Motogymkhana (search YouTube for 1400GTR and Bedford) and commuting 150miles a day.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I've seen your Motogymkhana video - very impressive. You might have a challenger next year  ;)

Having looked at that and a couple of the other vids I remember at the Cumbria Bike Show last year they had a demonstration....

Very impressive it was too what they can do with two wheels despite the wet plastic sheet they were doing it on.

Excellent video, thanks for sharing, and SirToU, you are a madman for taking a shiny new beast of a tourer through that  ;)

If I am not mistaken, a lovely example of how well, and how smoothly traction control intervenes at 25s too. I absolutely love the electronics on these bikes.
