New user here, nice forum,have lurked for a day and now decided to share my joy with you all, just got one day to go before I pick up my new (to me) 1100gs, starting to get a bit exited, and looking forward to the 150 mile ride home down some of the finest roads in Scotland.

...you can't imagine how deeply I understand you..., since I'm planning more or less the same thing for end of this week, beginning of the next...


...my God, I'm almost 40yo..., and I'm acting like a child....
This only prove my theory:
The biggest difference between adult and childrens IS in the cost for their toys...

For some of us it's the ONLY difference.

Well apart from hair coming out of my nose and ears instead of the top of my head.

Well just got in , had a nightmare ride home on the new bike,pissing down most of the way home really missed the fairing on the K but ill get used to that I hope. The main problem is a intermittent misfire under 4500 rpm, seems electrical ,possible something disturbed when the battery got changed or HT leads? any ideas anybody, it was running ok. will be doing some investigation in the morning.

The mystery misfire is now cured, it was the throttle cable out of its ferrule on the right pot, I now have a nice smooth bike . Shame I cant do anything about the weather, its still pouring down, at least the bike wont try to spit me of in corners now as the opther cylinder try to join in. So off to "enjoy" the roads and see what she is really like.

I really miss the "something for the weekend, sir" question. Either they don't do it any more or they assume I am too old to need the "products"......

Oh yes.... welcome to the asylum Pete.
