I had to google GSA to see what it was?

In the words of John McEnroe "You cannot be serious?" :no:  :mfr_lol:

Enjoy your new wheels  :smiley:

Good effort Mikey .... I was looking through my paperwork just the other day and realised I went to the dark side 5 yrs ago !!!! :eek: :eek: I love it it to bits .. utterly different to the GTR .. obviously ... but just loads of fun. The garage at work, once full of a spattering of different styles colours and sizes, is now fairly full of Triple Blacks, GSA,s and a couple of K1600ds .. and from blokes who swore they would never go "Adventure" or anything Teutonic !! Enjoy !

All though the GTR is a excellent machine :yes: it seems that a few members on here are going over to the dark side :whistling: I traded MY 2010 GTR for a 2015 ZZR1400 performance sport.. I've had 4 ZZR1400's  2006/2008/2013 and the 2015 model and fancied going back to one..  defo  missiles on 2 wheels but on those Europe trips I found the ZZR was the VERY..VERY DAM best at joining the Autoban exiting the service stations :clap: but I found the ZZR did cause my back and wrists to give me grief :hammer: did think of going back to the newest model GTR but decided to test ride the 2016 R1200  gs lc te  and I was hooked :yes: not as quick as the ZZR but quick enough to keep them mad Germans behind when exiting the service stations :smiley: also at least I get of the gs after a 100 mile trip I don't walk like I've just :shit: me self :grin:

Alright Rog.. how are your doings doing :smiley: I don't need to promote the b.m.w  :nono: since b.m.w introduced the excellent vastly improved water cooled boxer engine the b.m.w promotes itself :whistling:

p.s are you still visiting the bridge? also how is the slightly older Geoff doing.. he must be pushing 70 now surely the old bugger as hung is gloves by now! :mfr_lol:
