I've just arrived home in the pouring rain on my new Triple Black Adventure.
I'd ridden into Vines on my F650, through horrible traffic jams in foul weather and home on the TB, also in solid traffic in disgusting rain so I had back to back comparisons.
I like them both, they are chalk and cheese so keeping them both would be great but I'm limiting myself to one big Beemer plus my scooter. Accordingly the GSA gets it. The weight has defeated me before so I accept what you lot are likely to say next but this time I am using a lowered Segeant seat and it's more about confidence anyway.
However I want to say a HUGE thank you to whoever it was that posted recently to say that two wheels plus one leg makes a much more stable tripod than two wheels and two wobbly legs waving around in the breeze. Even on the standard Adventure seat adopting that practice has improved things greatly.
This Forum (in spite of all the abuse) IS worth it's weight in gold.
Have a great weekend everyone.
