Hi John,

I'd moved the picture on the server but not updated the post. I have now.

Mind you, that's a few years ago and things have moved on since then. Since that bike, I had a Honda ST1300 which was awful, then a GL1800 Goldwing which was great but too big to just take for a blast. Then I had a Yamaha FJR1300 which was also awful. Now I have a BMW K1200S which is quite simply the most fantastic bike I've ever owned as well as a Suzuki GSF1250 (Bandit) which is my messing around bike.

Should I take it you share this passion?

Regards,

Yeh Dave,i love me bike!.I have just brought a suzuki intruder 1800

.My previous bikes include a vfr 750,blackbird and hayabusa so the intruder is a bit of a change for me,but i do love the comfort and enjoy polishing the chrome!.The intruder does attract a lot of attention where ever i go with its 240 rear tyre and bad ass looks

its ashame its been too flipin cold of late to go out and enjoy it!. i spent saturday polising and waxing and went out sunday only to get it covered in road grime and salt,so it was out with the hose pipe again! i think the missus thinks i'm a bit obsessed,do you ride all year round?

Hi John,

I've seen the intruder and it's certainly a very eye catching bike. I always have to have a closer look when I walk past one lol. I ride all year round except when it's freezing. That's not because I won't ride in the cold but because we live in the middle of nowhere and the nearest gritted road is at least 5 miles away. Consequently there's a very high chance I would find some ice. The last time I rode at the moment was late December but I'm sure I'll get out at some time this weekend. My wife doesn't think I'm obsessed, she knows I am lol. Heck I even heat the garage for the bikes... don't want them getting cold lol.

Whereabouts are you in the country? I wonder if we've been to some of the same places?

Regards,

Hi dave, i have been to the usuall places like matlock and buxton and a lot of meets in and around birmingham where i live.ive only had the intruder a couple of months so its only go 800 miles on it so far,looking forward to the spring so i can put some serious miles on it!.I told the wife i wasn't going to spend any money on this one but she didn't believe me ::)

,ive already fited custom grips,pegs,mirrors and numerous chrome bits and pieces!,i think me 20" wheels will have to wait for the jag

, all the best, John
