Hello all,
As this is my first post - here's an intro:
I first test rode a big GS at the end of 2002 and absolutely loved it, but spent my hard earned cash backpacking around South America with my wife instead... And now, having upgraded from my elderly CBR600 via a Triumph Tiger and F650GS Dakar, I finally bought an 1150GS in February, and its ace!
I've been exploring the site and have found out lots of useful stuff (and had a good giggle!), but thought I'd wait until I had a question until my first post, so...
Does the rear crud-guard thingy keep the back end of the bike cleaner, or is it just for the benefit of following vehicles? And this leads me on to wonder if the Touratech no. plate mudguard flap replaces the crud guard...?
Having thought about the type of stuff it might be useful for fellow GS riders to know, here's a question for the Administrators - can a questionnaire / voting type thread be set-up listing all the accessories and modifications available? Tossers could then rate them out of 10 to provide an easy source of info for whats worth doing. I don't ask for much, eh?!
Cheers, bristoljay
