Salisbury Plain perimeter track and some of the permissive byways might be better on a big GS, even if the red flags are flying you can still ride a fair bit of the perimeter track (which is gravel). Thank you. Herman from this Parish gave me some routes around the plains and I have done a few of t...

Ha but dont forget I grew up in Bovey and Steve (Lily) from Cambs grew up in Chudleigh... so the Dartmoor lanes are home really

Thanks ! Hope you are well? My sis lives near Frome so I often visit on the GS coming down from Cambridge... The great thing about a bigger bike is I can cover vast distance on the motorway and then pick off a few interesting lanes where i fancy it. I dont currently have a trail bike but looking to ...

Evening all Heading down to Somerset this week on the GS. As well as maybe doing some trails on the plains I noticed a nice collection of byways a bit further north around Lambourn and towards Marlborough.

I love these bikes. Unfortunately not in a position to buy one at the moment but this is a lovely example. You could try the KTM forum. If not stuff seems to sell on eBay

I will be visiting my sister this week in Frome. I will head back on Saturday 4th and was thinking of a few hours on the plains before getting on the A34 heading north. Anyone local about who fancies a few hours on the plains or was going out anyway? Always nice to meet new faces.... I have a GS1200...

A dog? How fast do you want to go? I had a Tracer 700 and it would do 80MPH all day without fuss. I’ve ridden an F800GS, which had probably lost I few of the horses it left the factory with by the end, all around Australia, all over Europe and from the top of the Americas to the bottom. A few times...
