So driving bikes is not new to me. The Jinlun was just did a bad judgement call.
Driving the GZ compared to the Jinlun is very similar, but the overall quality is VERRY different. In short NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!

Thank you for the added info. You are not a new rider by any means and we can always use the experience of a seasoned rider.

There are several members from the UK here, and that's about it.
There is a member here who lives in Poland.
Can't remember ever seeing another Dane, or a Swede, Norwegian, Fin, Estonian, Latvian etc. here, nor any German.
I'm originally from The Netherlands, now live in the USA, since around 1990.

Ok. Holland, that is close enough :cool: I was about to feel werry lonley

An R26 is a pretty cool first bike; not exactly an everyday sight. Of course, the GZ'll be a better daily rider, plus you don't have to worry about damaging a rare classic.

True, but back in the days (when dinasarues rueled the world) an R26 war a comon thing in denmark. Close to germany and a relative cheap bike to get. The first thing I did was to take it apart, and build it up again after the frame was stripd and sandblown and repaintet.
Great bike No pictures and sold menny years ago. Ditto the Suzuki GS 400 and today my Jinlun went also :2tup: So all I have now is my much loved GZ :rawk:

No no, not Holland, Holland is in the west, I'm from the eastern part which is in the Lower Saxony language region (Niedersachsen in Germany). So that's even closer to Denmark !
I have never been to Denmark but my wife and kids have (I had to work....), my daughter loved it because she could legally drink beer there at age 15. In the USA that's (you won't believe it, but it's true) - 21 !

Sorry not anser until now. Got a new job and got lost in time. Ok geography is not my strongest side. ;-)

[5th_bike]

That's OK, no problem, most of the world calls the entire country "Holland" anyways.

Glad to see you back here !!!
