Hi Paul
I'm always up for a ride, there is a ride planned Bank holiday Sun 6th May from Notts to Mablethorpe if we wanted to tag onto that.
Lots of events coming up as well which makes a good day of it .

Sometimes works better on here to tag onto a bigger event but throw in fish and chips and it's a winner 👍

Cheers for that mate , I been out tonight just about 40 miles then ended up in Matlock

Fish n chip was lovely and a steaming hot cuppa tea

The 14 first run out so got a few teething problems

Headlight too low

Mirrors not tight enough

Left switch gear not quite in right place so an hour more in garage and she all sorted

Frozen through now but worth every min

Matlock is always good. Are the council arses still charging for bike parking or did that get canned?

Charges at Matlock never came in

If they ever do we stop going no bikes = no Matlock no shops or people to spend

There choice !!!

We had a week there last autumn. Very free - and so it should be. Shops do a roaring trade.

I'm always interested in a ride (but sadly not always free).

Post something up and I'll join you for a mug of tea if I can.

FYI don't forget we have forums for rides and meets etc

This is the UK one http://gsx1400owners.org/forum/index.php?board=16.0

there also one for Down Under and 'everywhere else'

Just helps keeps rides a bit separate so aussies aren't looking up ride suggestions in the UK etc.

Yah. I sure do have a GTR1400. Or my Ballistic Sofa as it's called.
Very nice it is too. Comfy on the old botty and is a fast as fu.... it's quick.

After doing a good few tours on my GSX14 and the last one was Nice France to Cambridge in one go/24 hrs (1000) miles I decided that walking like I'd shat myself was not nice. So bought a GTR.

I'll post a pic or 2 here tomorrow...

Thanks Grog
Its incredible at doing what its designed for - long  haul tours.  very comfy and if I dare say..  too fast really.  or a better description would be far too easy to go far too fast,..

In Germany, fully loaded with 2 weeks luggage, Me and the Wife ion board and full of fuel - 165mph with ease!!
