Hello all,

Just picked up my ex demo GS with loads of goodies. What can one say? Absolutely brilliant!! Been for a short blast and I feel at home already, despite being slightly vertically challenged.

I expect the accesories bug will hit me soon!!

I'm looking forward to many a long association with my GS.:helmet

Thank you all for the welcome!!

Think the bug will have to be exterminated... All the funds disappeared on the GS.

Alarm

Further to my previous posts, can anyone advise as to the best alarm to fit? Also what is the best cleaning agent if any to use on the spokes?

Alex,

if you do a search (use the search key at the top of the page) you'll find all these things have been discussed recently. Try using keywords 'Alarm' 'Spokes' and 'Clean'.

ALEX

Make the journey to Rhayader for the April bash as you will be more than welcome and need to meet the rest of the gang before you realise what you are letting yourself in for. Full details on National Events area.

And me too!

Didn't realise you could have so much fun on a 'slow' bike until I took one for a test ride. Picked mine up on Saturday afternoon and did 200miles around Exmoor on Sunday.

Won't be getting rid of my Sprint RS though, 'coz it's great for those Sunday thrashes.

Thanks Mike O will check that out.

Andy, may just do that. Is Rhayader anywhere near Camarthen? (excuse my ignorance on Welsh geography)



Phil, I am enjoying .... You can't miss me, mines a sunrise yellow one!!

Why is that not a surprise?


Have fun Alex and remember the less time you spend on this Forum the more time you will have on your bike, both very addictive!

AlexV...

Don't worry about the height thing. My best mate's well over 6foot, and when I bought my GS I'd to reset everything down to the lowest setting. After a bit of time and riding, it's now up to the same level as his... and I'm no-where near 6foot!!

Practice, practice, practice... at least that's what I say when herself gives out due to my absences on days ending with a Y!
