There's a video floating round all the forums right now about getting a GS off the side stand easier. It's from Motojitsu. If you turn the bars away from you and shift your butt to the right, the bike comes off the side stand with minimal effort. Give it a try folks as it works 👍

In the BMW motorcycle club Scottish Section, we used to hold the Longest Day weekend starting in Blair Atholl on the Fri, ride to Durness on Sat, camp there then ride home to Edinburgh on the Sunday. The roads have been there fir donkeys years, now for the tourists, the powers that be decided to call it the NC500 !! As though we needed a silly name fir what is Caithness and the North Highlands !! 👍

Take a look at the video on my channel Kate. You'll see an alternative way of leaving the garage forecourt in Ullapool!! 😜😜 That's a great route, still ok in the wet, but with weather like that at the start, it's lovely to be able to make the most of those bends. We were lucky at Kyelesku bridge, I managed to catch a stag on the drone footage. He was just down over the edge from where you were stopped. Shame you dipped out at Cocoa Mountain, lovely coffee and hot choccy. We were up there in June and due to Covid, they were told they couldn't have people inside, so we had to have takeaway. I hope it's not had to close permanently, that place is legendary. Shame you had a bit of the wet stuff across the top, but it always seems to rain up there. I'm sure those mallows and cream made up for it.

Looks a great trip , must try and get up there soon, Happy New year to you and Mike. Little tip if you put the bars all the way to the right when lifting the bike of the side stand it makes it easer, especially a big old GS

Random Col, it was definitely a great trip! That tip I've seen from Motojitsu definitely works, except for if the bike is still a little bit impractically tall and your bike is on a bit of a slope, then there's no saving you, tried first hand today 🤣

Fan from across the pond! Started watching your channel because I've been considering a GS. Currently ride a 690 enduro R and as much off road as possible. The KTM is great off road but long miles on pavement get really long!!! I went and looked at a GS, just looked, and HOLLY F..... its like sitting on a small car. The 690 is about as skinny as you get and the GS is, well, not skinny. And heavy! My brain goes from pretty confident to, first time ride instantly. My question is should I get a newer one and hope to learn to feel confident, or get an older one because I'm going to drop, drop, drop, drop... it? I don't want to ride the GS off-road like the 690, but would like to camp off the bike on long multi-state trips. That would mean some dirt roads. Oh, 60yrs old, 5'7" (173cm). Thanks for any thoughts.

Hello and happy new year! What would you recommend? For 1,70cm A GSA With low Seat? or GSA With Low Suspension and Heated and low Seat as an extra option.
@UsernameKate
@UsernameKate 3 жыл бұрын
If your inner leg measurement is less than 74cm, I'd DEFINITELY recommend a chassis lowered GSA. The GSAs are bloody tall! I only ride them if they're factory lowered as it makes life much easier 👍
