Good for you!
I was really impressed at the ability to 'wheelie' at the last Reivers' Run........
That going to be your all-round and holiday bike?

Glad to see you are keeping it clean. I'm just working up the courage to admit to the world that I bought a 1250GS. For Christ's sake, don't tell anyone...
ah...
... schoolboy error on my part.

You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

Congratulations, you're obviously a man of taste
. They're great bikes, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
As for you Paul, I'm trying to remember all the scornful remarks you made about my GS's
Cheers
