RAYDEO's road to a new bike

**RAYDEO** · 1st September 2014, 14:26

Howzit!

Not sure if this has been done before, but I'm documenting the next month as i go through the motions of buying a new bike.
I have been with out a road bike since i sold my GW250 about 8 months ago.
I bought it new, but after chasing down a couple of mates at the 2013 Lions Coast to Coast - Video Here - I found it extremely under powered, well, maybe thats a harsh criticism.
put it this way, with 2 up and a pack full of gear, its obvious its only a 250...

so thats sold, and I'm now deciding what to get next, as the weather is warming up, and with new laws i really need to get my A into G and get my full licence.

check out the video, and subscribe if you like...

comments are welcome!

Yep, I just accidently clicked through and became viewer number 8. Spamming his radio station persona into bike forum... as post number 1.
So sick of that clichéd fixed camera to subject position while moving. It kinda worked for the rodeo ad, but sick of it by the time that pump bottle ad came out with it...

Sorry if you thought I was "spamming my radio persona", at any point in the next few minutes feel free to check my join date, although I haven't hored out my post count, I actually joined here before you.
Last time I checked this was a forum of like minded people keen to share their views about a common interest, i can appreciate everyone's differing point of view, but there's no need to be a keyboard worrier about it.

This place has changed over the years, and if the few pervious comments are anything to go by, it's not for the better.

That's not accurate.
This place has been rotten for many years.
Its most likely its just taken you a while to notice.

MT03 would be my pick.
