Well good morning well I’m here in the garage with my beloved 1200 and it’s a day of mixed emotions this morning as I’m going up the gler to pick up my new machine and as you can see the weather’s around this and it’s still pitch

Black so it’s not going to be a pleasant ride but needs must and all that so I was hoping it to be light it’s not going to be light so filming it’s going to be a bit limited and there’s a lot of motor work the quickest way cuz I don’t want to be

Out in this much so we going to crack on and we’ll see there she is and and whoever buys it next will buy a good bike this bike was destined to go to Croatia but it’s one of them things you know it’s like you go window shoing and then you end up buying

Something uh you know this bike 44,000 M and it’s boot Fair L and I will be sorry to see go but hey ho up onwards and upwards so I’ll catch you a bit later well hello and welcome back just a quick update we’re actually on the road now it’s 7:40 in the morning

And making our way up to Cham chap Marley Davidson to pick up the new machine so we on board the GS yet as you can see just starting to get a bit of daylight now so but the LA the rain will hold off and that’ll be great if that can happen

So just check in see if we still filming because a bit of a wobbly back there but this appears to be so and hell of a stormy day so like I say is not L the point and filming in the dark and it’s only a small video just

A end the year off really it’s the 28th of December and it’s been a good year for biking for socializing with people we’ve met on the bikes so we’re looking forward to next rideing season we got a full schedule we’ve got camping weekend up in tuxford that that kicks there off in

May and we’ve got our big Croatia tour and we’ve got the new broom up in chle So that’s always a good end care of Mr Griffin Jones cracking boys really good set of boys met a lot of friends through them thank you very much Paul and Ray so and then like you see we’ve uh already booked in for the motorcycle alive we had a good uh good weekend up

There so all right I won’t Ramble On Any Further so I’ll catch you a bit later into the Ride well here we are folks just coming off the M5 now and heading into chel them had a good run up over in 20 minutes to be here so far and we’re only about 3 m away now here we are close that down give you a little wipe there we

Are yeah good run up fa plate so on the last couple of Miles as you can see fuel consumption is just right we got the fuel light on price of fuel we can’t afford to be given it away these days and I expect the bike I’m picking

Up will be empty as per usual that’s normally the Case So Not quiet than when I came up here the other day it was quite busy By I can remember the way in here now without the S off that’s the thing we all tend to rely on satav too much these Days think we’re going left here I think Y we’re on the right Road folks yeah all this was Jam pack the other day that’s why I decided to come up early better they had a bit of rain New Look it’s coming to rain again now radio hey car radio off radio thank you anybody else get radio coming

On surprised it didn’t come back on in can’t remember this road being that long must have been not unless we’re on the wrong road which I don’t think we are excuse the rambling folks we definitely on the right Road I remember seeing our Range Rover back Here B of De well there she is there she is thank you very much needs a good clean and should be good as gold well there we are I’ll catch you in a bit when I’ve been done the dings well here we are CH Marley Davidson and what have we bought this is

The thing this is the thing surrounded by holies beautiful bikes and we’ve been dealing with Liam up here top guy he sorted us out looked after us well so won’t be long now before we have a reveal so let’s go and see well here she is folks the new one there it

Is I’m not ready for Aly yet not yet but one day maybe yeah so we’ll uh see how we get on on the way Home right let’s get going folks just leaving the dealer so so it’s just a matter of uh get into grips with the all F dangly bits TFT screen it’s got the nav Six in then out within the hour so I don’t think we’re going to get back without getting wet And it’s all been ceramic coated now was all done thanks to the previous owner so traffic’s picking up a bit so I’m going to go back a slightly different way whether it’ll be quicker or longer I’m not sure but who’s worried when you on your newly acquired machine this is a low Adventure Model Right we catch up a a bit later on folks well there’s the Buffalo Sops don’t many bikes here today wow I’ve been riding this now for about an hour and I can truthfully say I love it absolutely love it

  1. Phew……I was worried there for a bit outside the Harley dealership….not there yet is right…65 year old here and still reckon I’m a long way off😉congrats on new steed, she looks great, always mixed emotions when chopping in an old friend, but you always keep the memories.

  2. Like the comment from GS Hants was thinking "Nooooo…trading in a GS for a Harley………….would have put a major damper on my festive activities. Thank you for saving my Xmas! Luvvery choice. Take care and keep safe. Old Bloke

  3. Nice choice Kev, for a minute there I thought you may have needed a reality slap but you realised the error of your ways and made the only real choice in pursuit of a happy wandering biking nirvana. Happy biking fella!
