Cornwall on Suzuki GSXS 1000s // A trip to the Chequered Flag Cafe! 🏁
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Hi Folks! 👋
I don't know if anyone remembers but just before Christmas last year, Mike and I borrowed two Suzuki GSXS 1000s and went for a little trip around Cornwall.
You can find the first part here:
• Cornwall Trip on Suzuk...
This is part 2 where we went to the Chequered Flag Cafe for a wicked breakfast and then onwards to explore some of the roads in Cornwall!
Have you guys been to the Chequered Flag before? What did you think of it?!

winter riding sucks ,brrrr great vid Kate .
Myttin Da.. Tis nothin' like a Good Breakfast and the ride to set one up.. You'd cover some ground on this ride out too.. Got to love the Lanes.. :
Always entertaining hearing you when in danger 🤣🤣 tomatoes on breakfast can go in Room 101, no place for them, especially not the tinned ones that basically covering everything!! You left an egg, come on Kate, what you doing!!! Great video, thanks!

Agreed no tomatoes👍
Great vlog, breakfast looked 👌 don't like chips on breakfast but got to have everything else including black pudding 😋😋😋😋
I hate winter gloves too so usually use a pair of those free petrol station gloves inside my sports gloves, two on colder days.
Yep, that’s my retirement plan. A breakfast cafe marketed around ‘bikes… ah only 24 years to go until my NHS retirement date. Nice little ride out in the great British weather. Keep em’ comin’ Kate. 👍👍
2 sausage 2 eggs 2 bacon tomatoes fried bread 😋 oh and a coffee☕or Tea
Another great upload Kate, but don’t like black pudding 😁👍
I'll pass on the black pudding thank you. Nice ride...
Enjoyed that, thanks.
Hi Kate your singalong pizza hut song reminded of 2003 trip around England Scotland Wales in.a rental Corsa .each weekday we listened to the Chris Moyles radio One show to break the monotony of the journey and the pizza McDonalds song was repeated daily as well justin Timberlake. We did 4000 miles I'd love to.get to UK n do a bit of traveling on M/Cs around the Manchester region before I I sign off and do a Guess Who and go" trucking along Across the Skies" I love ditto repeato riff in that song Go Bertram Cummins Thanks Kate you draw out the best in me ttfn lass....Regards David of Leeds now flooded out New Zealand
Fried eggs, bacon and hash brown here in Canada for sure 😋😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦

Oooow Kate, I could do you a really nice breakfast 😜👍🏻
Fried breakfast for me....... Bacon, sausage, egg, tomato, beans, mushrooms, hash brown, fried bread, toast and coffee 🙂 No black pudding sorry. Grumps
Nice breakfast...those tiny lanes at the end are my favourite on the T7!! Cheers, Steve 😀
Fantastic vlog as usual Kate ride safe lovely looking forward to your next vlog looking forward to seeing your trackday vlog..
It always amazes me how good these bikes sound with standard exhaust systems.. My CB100r is a damp.squid in comparison... I was never a fan of hash browns and not part of a scottish breakfast but we seem to see them more and more and I quite like them now. Fried Bread or Tattie Scone and Black Pudding are a must for me but tomatoes 👎. The big question. Ketchup or Brown Sauce.. None for you obviously 😂. Bogin roads near the end. Nice 1 mate 👍
Great vid. Although the weather was still cold (just like the northern part here in the Netherlands) you had a fantastic ride, your country lanes are amazing. The blue wheels on MIke s bike are a nice feature. Big thumbs up👍👍🇳🇱
So so sorry the weather has been shit for your Holls , egg,bacon,sausage,tomatoes,beans,fried bread and toast, that’s it, oh and mug of tea not coffee, try a kwak like mine gtr1400, I’m sure you’ll be impressed, hope it clears up for you both, have a great time regardless.
Did so well down that muddy track definitely very sketchy Kate. Breakfast looked good 👍 🙂 hope you enjoyed your time down there.
hello good afternoon Kate is great I had a Yamaha fz1 for 14 years and they are super 😄👌 best regards
Nice ride in, great brekkie, not so nice ride out. That's where you tune up your biking skills "init?" :>)
Thanks for the breakfast Kate!😊😊
None of them horrible grilled tomatoes on my brekkie, thank you very much.
Yeah no black pudding on full English but all the rest thanks Kate Mike for sharing Cornwall trip class safe riding both of you 👍❤️
insane shots~🤙
Thank you for doing continued videos on these bikes, more than just the demo day. Also I had to laugh about the breakfast where you say you don't care for fried eggs but that if you were a dog you can imagine that you would like fried eggs. 😄

I’m totally with you on those Hash Browns…do remember the Little Chef aka Little Thief chain….they did an American Style brekkie, two hash browns, then had optional add-one, so the other one is Black Pudding for me yes Hash Browns Black Pudding yummy🙌
You are right, those little west country roads can be mortifying even in the dry. If you meet anything coming the other way they can be a nightmare.

Trying to convince my better half to let us visit that cafe when we're down there in a few weeks now! Might have to tempt her with the full breakfast! I LOVE Cornwall. Even in a car, the roads are absolutely staggering. Not as twisty and wriggly as Scotland but better for 40-50mph winding roads you can cruise through. The road down to Lands End is brilliant.
Black pudding is a must. No to mushrooms though
Winter Gloves? Yikes! you folks need to ride those big bikes down here for your trials! Welcome any time... take the studio you guys would have a ball...
I can survive without hash browns, but love black pudding..... hahaha :D I love the single track roads in Cornwall... but when wet with leaves down they are proper dodgy, hard to stop in a hurry if you have an oncoming car.... had a police car run me into a hedge down by HMS Raleigh when I was based down there! Brill vid Kate :-)
Fried bread and black pudding is a must😎.. beans not for me🥴
Kate, gotta love uk eh, winter gloves in nearly June lol ✅. Looked really nice scran 😋, mike of course had the he-man portion, i would have done the same to be fair. Think I would have had to check my pants after that “essentially” a farm track you went down. Good on ya keeping it sunnyside up. As always, very entertaining tks.

Christ lol, didnt read the description only the upload date, sorry!. Anyway probably just the same now lol, certainly is up this way in the frozen north, 11 at the moment here. Hope you having a chill day and nae working too hard.
I ride similar narrow roads in Co Fermanagh on my Can Am Spyder. Not the most sensible set of wheels but good fun.
You and I have very different tastes. My idea of a perfect English is Hamsteak, sausages, black and white pudding, baked beans and CHIPS!. No potatoes or bread.
A man could live off black pudding and fried eggs. !!!
No chips no beans !
Also don't like riding with thick winter gloves because of the lack of feel. Oh and agree no chips or black pudding for me or tomatoes either. Yuck!
Must ride down to Cornwall one day! My Nana used to live down there. As a kid was the best👍. I use earbuds with the phone n offline google maps so far so good (if the map stops the voice seems to carry on). P.s Mike found you a fun route👍

Hate tomatoes, beans and black pudding so I don't bother much but I love fried bread
The chequered flag is a peculiar place. They often have a few bikes inside for sale + second hand clothing and nik naks. I once bought a pair of Givi panniers in there for £60. It's been a while since I was there but they used to also rent out workshop space and tools. Definitely nowhere else like it.

Lucky you had a good breakfast before you took on those muddy roads.
If i didn't ride a scooter and still rode my ninja 300 the ones your ride would be my bike of choice. To me they look awesome. Oh and my wife hates thick gloves for the same reason, lack of feel. Something you don't kneed on a scoot. Safe riding.🇦🇺

Dang Kate, now I have to wait for the next video to see if you and Mike made it back home after dark. On coming headlight not dimmed ... YUK Tunnels of vegetation with narrow road ... not my cup of tea. Hear you can look left or right ans see for miles unless riding mountain roads but still much better views. It's been a cool weekend here but haven't checked the weather to see if it snowed again in the mountains near here, South Pass in the Rocky Mountains, again since about a week ago. Breakfast looked quit good, did you get your black pudding? lol
Another small breakfast for you and Mike! Lol. How come you left your egg? I'm like you, I bloody hate wet gravely back roads. Oh yeah, I did notice that when you did the NC500, you always seemed to be in third or fourth, I was willing you to change up loads of times. 🙄.
Relax,you got it and have good guide.

Hi Kate, that "I like to think I am mildly aware Mike" comment made me laugh! No one likes black pudding do they?
Regarding riding the expensive press bikes if you should happen to damage one does that fall on your insurance or does the manufacturer/dealership cover it?
Great video again but do we have to wait 5 months for the next one like we have for this one.

This was a forgotten episode that I uploaded by accident. It wasn't meant to see the light of day but I accidentally scheduled it 🙃
Great video. Enjoyed your couple of Cornwall videos and original reviews. Also enjoyed your GSX 8S reviews and actually bought one! I went for black. More than enough power for the riding you did on these videos. Great torque. Relaxed around town. However the S1000s are cheap presently and, well, a super bike. Given the cost of buying, registration, insurance and fuel, real world would you own the GSX S1000 or the GSX 8S? Would trade you from the 8S to the 1000?
How is Username dad getting on 😂
My full English has to be bacon, sausage, egg, mushrooms, beans, hash brown, and toast or fried bread. I absolutely will not eat tomatoes 😖
Hey Kate, how tall is Mike, he looks a bit big on the bike, no offence, love your channel 👌Only asking cause I'm thinking of getting one, I'm 5ft 11 🤔
Chips on a breakfast is just wrong. Also what up with only getting 1 sausage???

Re: full English breakfast...I just don't get it. How can you wax lyrical about (specifically) hash browns and (generally) potato versatility and then slag off chips...? You're right about the black pudding though, and the peppered visor; either of those and your back end will be very much skidding out 🤢
