Nutty - Your Bike Is Nearly Ready!

That's annoying. I test rode one Saturday, and they said they had a cancelled order. I didn't think too much about it, but when I spoke to the DP, he said its end of quarter, so they'd do me a "deal I couldn't refuse". They lived up to that!

Delivery tomorrow.:JB

Here you go fella - just on the bench having the final bits put on it. Apparently you've ordered the engine bars coz you're a big girl who will no doubt drop it in the first couple of weeks!:D

I tried to get them to let me scrub yer tyres in :p

Hey Nutty, you previously said "I will. But it's a first year model, and I won't buy a first year model again. The grips will be sorted in 2016." referencing the XR in a previous post (I'm not stalking, honest, just looking to see if I should be having a serious look at the XR and came across your earlier remarks). So what made you change your mind? You are keeping the GSA surely?
 
Ha ha ....

Ahhhh .... tossers ... all of you .....

(long days at work this week .. )

Yes, it looks a pretty good bike, I'll give you that!

I'd say the one thing it has in abundance over the 1190r is going to be corner entry. Whilst I'm sure my 90/90/21 front would cling on to everything I can throw at it, when I'm caning it on the road there's always a tiny bit of my brain thats reminding me that my front is pretty skinny. I wouldn't say it puts me off, but I'm probably just the tiniest bit more cautious than I would be with a standard 17'' front.

So enjoy .. :thumb2 We'll have to have a play and pitch the two against each other on a decent road.

Dont forget though ... my heart is still in bumpy, nadgery back b roads. 80 ... 90 .... eyes are on stalks! Can't get into big trouble with the feds, and still get yer rocks off. And long travel suspension with a V twin is pretty hard to beat on those roads.
(And then of course you can bang it down a by-way .... :D)

Yeah .... but to put a blindfold on Giles, to even things up, would not be in the spirit of the challenge :eek:

:beerjug:
 
Ahh c'mon Micky ... He wasn't that bad ... :)

I hate to admit it but even if that were the case he could probably still command a draw:D There are things that only a lifetime of professional riding bring to the party.

I did, didn't I?!:blast:D

In fairness, it's not really a first year model, as the S1000 has been out for a while. The heated grips are hotter than my R, although I didn't try them properly the other day. I wasn't going to get one until next year, but I was offered a good discount, an over allowance on the R, and a free screen, so it was a no brainer.

However, the GSA ain't going anywhere, I'll be keeping that for the foreseeable.:thumb

You were under strict instructions to get a picture of Steph on the bike, wearing a bikini.:rob:D

The engine bars aren't on yet, as they forgot to order the bolts!:blast So if they're not there tomorrow, I'll probably go for the HP engine guards instead.
 
Now tucked up in bed:D

The GSA will be getting a feeling of neglect :)

It looks like it, as mine doesn't have one! I won't be fitting a topbox, so am not that worried at this stage. I guess it'll be fitted at the first service, but will ask later.

So why does it need engine bars, it'll spoil the good looks of the bike

Why do people fit engine bars to bikes - are they dropping them all the time nowadays
