Hi again, this is a photo of my 1st 14 that was stolen last year!
(https://gsx1400owners.org/forum_test/gallery/0/823_23_07_17_1_49_06_1.jpeg)
I had been looking forward to putting some miles on it and someone before me had spent a lot of time and money on it so I was the lucky guy until some sticky fingered B*****ds stole it.
I liked it that much that once the insurance money came through I went out and bought another. This one is a year younger and completely standard with the standard Yoshi exhaust (which is a lot quieter than the Beowulf on the stolen one) I will try and get a photo of the new one up.
I've hardly swung a leg over it as the weather was poor then I had an op to remove my gallbladder so I'm looking forward to the warmer weather!!!!

Nice bike
Tyres :popcorn:
Go explore the forum as loads of discussion on this and other things like what oil is best,what brake pads .
This forum is full of great info on our bikes from members old and new who have done many 1000's of miles .
I like Pirelli Angel gt's and really like them get good mileage and there great in the rain .
others really like Michelin road pilots3/4 I've never used them but I think they'll be very good too.
:cheers:

Welcome :hat:
The bike disappeared over 4,000 shares on FB and loads of other places . . . . . . gone obviously a professional job and of course if I found out who it was? I'd be more than happy to do a professional job on them!!
Nothing worse than some scumbag steals your pride and joy .
Hopefully they fall feet first into a tree chipper . :furious:

Yep don't understand them, some are so called "bikers" as well.
