My first "big bike"

[TimR]

Gpz is a good bike .. yes a bit lacking in omphh but does still have that great kwak 4-5k rpm jekyll and hyde transition .

Can be a bit cam chain noisy but thats a kwak .

Happy Riding

[NeilM]

Thats not a bad idea! Hornsea is my goto destination for a first drive/ride out in a new vehicle. Every car and every bike has gone there the day Ive purchased them. Not a bad little run out if you go via Withernsea.

 

or go the whole hog n head up to filey?

This is Richard Hammonds opinion on the GS

"There are already too many smug twats commuting the wilds of Kensington on Dakar-ready BMW R1200GS believing themselves to be the very image of wotsiface and wotsiface going the Long bloody Way Round on telly when in fact they are a middle-aged man who can’t afford a Ferrari but wants something he feels might impress his colleagues."

I live a sheltered life. I went out and bought a bike. Then people started saying things like, oh nice, like on the "Long Way Round", and I'm thinking, what way round? And Charlie Boredom - who? If I'd known what I was buying into I'd have stayed well a... hell, I've have bought it just the same. It's a nice bike.

[Hoggs]

I think that explains how I ended up with one too...

Igloo!! OK you get a card too, limited edition of two

Some of the replies have made me chuckle.

Any other places local to Hull other than squires? I fancy going out to play over the weekend weather permitting.

 

Obviously you have squires and seaways

There is wetwang chippy, Fimber cafe, Helmsley, Gothland, Scarborough (shudder), Withernsea, Hornsea, Brid, Warley cross cafe, Driffield river head cafe, Willingham woods

Theres a few to work your way round

[MR_W]

wetwang chippy

 

Next you will tell me there is a drytits cafe. [emoji28]

[Tango]

Yeah....ok, I've caught up now......errr yeah....congrats on the new bike mate......

You could take a wire brush to the rear sprocket if you want......I think I'd be checking the condition of the chain and sprockets anyway mate, as you don't really know the history of the bike.....

And here starts your first lesson in motorbike ownership.....you're hand will be permanently in your pocket from now on, because there's always something that needs replacing or servicing.....or a nice new shiny thing that needs adding (BTW....These are called Farkles ), because bikers are really just magpies in disguise!.....

And cruiser riders are SOA wannabies.

And nekkid bike riders wish they were their Dads.

And tourer riders wish they were accountants.

And sports bike riders...well...
