Welcome to the biking brotherhood. Can't go wrong with a 1250 GS. They are BRILLIANT.

Joe you're killing me - we have matching M3 Tourings (Dravit Grey with Silverstone interior) and now you have bought the same bike !! We are twins from different continents! You will love the 1250 mate - I have had mine 2 years and they are AMAZING. Went the GSA as I live in Australia so our trips are a little longer than UK so needed the bigger fuel tank. Enjoy and welcome to the Motorrad family !!!!

Loved this video and really hope we see more bike content! Completely different style to the usual first ride videos, a lot more real world and it's great to hear the perspective of someone riding a big bike like the GS who's not been riding for years.

[tkscott]

That bike and it's spec is unbelievable. Not been on a bike for around 15 years, and back then, they didn't even have a fuel gauge. Tremendous vlog mate.

The Alpha and Omega of bikes 🙌... they get under your skin, im on my 4th 👍. Had sports bikes for years but eventually realised that on our roads, and for doing big days, touring etc .. the GS just ticks all the boxes 💯👍

I've got that exact bike, had it for around 4 weeks after coming from sports / naked bikes... I just can't stop riding the thing, does everything so well. The perfect bike for potholed UK roads

Having owned two 125 Trail bikes and having access to a Kawasaka 420 Scrambler in my younger days I always aspired to having a big Dakar style bike but realised cars are a lot safer after commuting one day and seeing a guy I passed every morning and acknowledged lying under a car and as I spent 7 weeks in traction in hospital after going under a car on my push bike at the age of nine something clicked and my biking career was over. I have recently got into eMTB's and love it which takes me back a little way to off roading on trail bikes but now in near silence. I can now follow you on your biking travels in safety at home. Ride safe.

Really nice video Joe, a bit of bike content ads some more verity to an already awesome channel. Wouldn’t necessarily have to be a review, just watching you bumbling around our beautiful countryside and chatting on a bike is entertaining and relaxing to watch. Thanks for your content 👍🏻

[RevZolution]

Great video. Hopefully your channel will be 50 50 bikes and cars soon

[dviper]

Can’t wait to see more moto content Joe…great work as usual. Also you did nail it on the mic/camera setup! Cheers from New York!

[stealth_yellow]

Nice riding! I’ve been riding for 32 years, mainly superbikes. I still love it! Last year I bought exactly the same bike you have there. It’s bloody awesome.

[PetrolPed]

Audio is brilliant mate. Such a cool new challenge to sort out how to film on a bike !

[StuHNomadBiker]

Self cancelling indicators Joe on the GS 👍, another tip, cancelling the cruise control you can counter - rotate the throttle i.e apply pressure forwards and it knocks it off, saves dabbing the brake to knock it off .. enjoy pal 👍

[antonoat]

Wow, this is a surprise ! Good move Joe, I doubt you'll realise at this stage how addicted bikes can become! Ride safe buddy! PS you've chosen the world's most capable, comfortable bike! Cheers.

[jondavies]

Cool vid and great bike for a tall guy. I've got the opposite problem. You seem confident, I just got back on after not riding for 5 years, will take a while to get into the swing. Take it easy out there Joe, looking forward to more bike content.

[carlgreen]

Joe as a fellow BMW Driver and Rider what a cracking video that gives a great insight for those who dont know what being on a bike is like. So much freedom balanced with a lot of responsibility. ENJOY!

[Jmbo]

Joe welcome to the wonderful world of motorcycling which will bring many wonderful new adventures ….. had plenty of RR’s and now have that exact GS and it’s the perfect around bike as Chris will tell you 👍👍👍

[simonrose]

Joe, your reclaibrated concept of speed is super to see and hear. Well done.

[chuckbassification]

Absolutely loved this! Joe you are a natural! Also, I watch a lot of bike content and your audio setup is spot on! really great quality, looking forward to all the upcoming two wheeled content!

[OntarioAndrews]

This is a great video. Nice bike, nice ride. The sound was good so no complaints here. I look forward to your 2nd Ride. Cheers!
