Gibbo1974 is on a distinguished road
Funny this should crop up today, decided to hold mine open all the way today and see how fast it went:

I was sat up and didn't tuck behind the screen for fear of looking even more of an idiot than I already did.

She managed 118mph on the clock which I reckon would have been about 110mph on the SatNav (didn't have it switched on)

But I reckon if I tucked in and had a head wind it would have eventually seen 120mph indicated, maybe more.

But whatever the point of that is I don't know, it was noisy, buffety and damn uncomfy doing that speed.

I go everywhere at between 65 and 80 depending on whether I'm going somewhere good or not.

Had a go of my pals 1200GS the other day, it is a bloody giant great big monster of a bike, felt like a Harley FatBoy that someone had converted to go off road (a bit)

Tenere's RULE !!!!
