GSXS 1000 - Mofo's Gixxus
And it's here Milky bars are on me
Been waiting for it to arrive before ordering stuff but will start sorting that now. Probably won't be ridden for a few weeks yet but soon hopefully if it warms up and Herts Highways stop salting daily

Re: GSXS 1000 - Mofo's Gixxus
Weather looks reasonable tomorrow
Walkers Snack Bar at Barton Mills tomorrow between 12 and 1, be there or be somewhere else (or suggest somewhere better, I could easily do Finchingfield or Krazy Horse)

Re: GSXS 1000 - Mofo's Gixxus
I've got my folks 50th Wedding Anniversary tomorrow but can't see me riding it yet. The only salt I want this bike to see is what I put on my chips at the seaside! Herts have been spreading the last 3 nights running and the roads are covered. Otherwise yes, even today wasn't too bad.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Fri Feb 25, 2022 1:30 pm Weather looks reasonable tomorrow

Re: GSXS 1000 - Mofo's Gixxus
Do new bikes still need running in?
I know they stopped bothering with cars years ago.

Re: GSXS 1000 - Mofo's Gixxus
I'm sure the manual will say so. Last few new bikes I've had I've ridden them pretty much normally but without red lining it or reving it too much. But I won't for example be riding round at 4k revs for 600 miles. Equally I won't be bouncing it off the limiter other. To be fair on a 1000cc it's not like you need to rev it much to get a lick on.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Fri Feb 25, 2022 3:56 pm Do new bikes still need running in?

I know you didn't think it was the best colour, but it is.
Are you sure you'll be able to handle the Powah! after the shopping bike?
I'm very jealous.

Funnily enough the colour has grown on me and is much nicer in the flesh. I love the blue wheels.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Fri Feb 25, 2022 7:39 pm I know you didn't think it was the best colour, but it is.

Been a while since I've had a fast bike but looking forward to it
If we ever meet your welcome to a go

Only real men ride white 1000cc+ Suzuki's with blue wheels.
You'll be needing some pink stickers tho'
