F800 GSA rider from Merseyside

Post by sjones423 »

Hi all,

I've owned the bike since new (2015) and put around 16000 miles on it so far. No commuting miles!
Since owning it, i've travelled through France, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland doing a combination of camping/b&b, and recently returned from a trip doing the North Coast 500 in Scotland. My local-ish routes tend to be focussed around North Wales, Shropshire and the occasional journey through Derbyshire.

Very comfortable on the bike, though i've had little practice 'off road' on it, mainly due to lack of knowledge of where I can take it. Haven't ridden off road since a bit of MX is my teens. Hopefully this site can introduce some like minded people and can present a few ideas of where best to take it, so I can start using the bike for what it was made for! :)

Nice one, good to hear! I don’t suppose you know of anywhere local I can go to, to develop some light off road skills?
