Ride  To Podium Cafe Newbury On Bmw 1300 Gsa!


Podium Place, 31A Bone Ln, Newbury RG14 5SH

Starting the morning with lowered seat and  of anticipation, the BMW 1300 GSA feels primed for a perfect Sunday ride out. The Podium Café in Newbury is the destination, a renowned spot for bikers who crave a place where quality coffee and panoramic views over the countryside meet. As the engine roars to life, there’s a unique thrill—a mix of the bike's raw power and the crisp morning air promising a memorable ride ahead.

Cruising through the winding back roads, the 1300 GSA handles like a dream. BMW’s engineering really shines here; every corner is taken with precision, the bike feels responsive, and the suspension handles the occasional bumpy patch without breaking stride. The rolling hills and open stretches provide the ideal playground, allowing the engine to breathe and show off its power.

Arriving at Podium Café, the atmosphere is buzzing with fellow bikers, some of whom have made similar trips just for the ambiance. The café itself is set up as the ultimate biker’s haven, with tables outside to admire the lineup of impressive machines parked out front. There's an immediate sense of camaraderie as nods of appreciation are exchanged. Inside, the scent of fresh coffee and pastries hits, blending perfectly with the thrill of the ride. 

Conversations flow easily, whether it’s about the latest routes, gear, or the unique capabilities of the BMW 1300 GSA. It’s a Sunday well spent—great roads, good company, and that unbeatable satisfaction of being on two wheels, savoring every mile.

BMWGSA 1300 DOWN  !! WTF  didn't take long, did it. The honeymoon is now over now I can start being a proper adventure bike rather than pussyfooting around cleaning it every five minutes all good no damage slight damage on the screen not worry about that and I need a replacement part for my top box not a mark on the crash, Bars, can you believe it?

Today started with unexpected excitement when I opened the shed and triggered the Smoke Cloak. After that surprising start, I ventured out on my new GSA, ready for the day’s adventures. However, by the time I returned, fatigue was setting in. I attempted to ride the heavier bike onto a ramp—something I've done countless times—but today it was a struggle. My energy levels were low, and I was at the edge of my limits.

BMWGSA 1300 DOWN !! WTF didn't take long, did it

Today started with unexpected excitement when I opened the shed and triggered the Smoke Cloak. After that surprising start, I ventured out on my new GSA, ready for the day’s adventures. However, by the time I returned, fatigue was setting in. I attempted to ride the heavier bike onto a ramp—something I've done countless times—but today it was a struggle. My energy levels were low, and I was at the edge of my limits.

In my hesitation, I decided against using the automatic card for assistance, worried it might malfunction. Unfortunately, this decision led to an unexpected drop, reminding me that even experienced riders can face challenges.
