Jon had his F800 repossessed due to bmw finance not wanting to transfer it to his Austrian misses details. Then carry on paying for it, all due to job loss.

He is still an adventure at heart! He has left these forums for a break & I hope he comes back before 2012.

ohhh along the lines of this...

Various bits are being made up across Europe as we speak. Should pick up a car next week which I'll use to trailer it across Germany and then use Austria as forward base camp from which I will push out further than before on adventurous meanderings.

Yep I can confirm the lovely looking awesome red bike was put together and still owned by uk gsers very own STORMFORCE8. looks even more stunning in the flesh so to speak I remember him wanting to park it next to the blue beemer so it got more attention ... dont know about the grey one in the distant back ground

Nice to see you back here Jon

looks like an exciting project I like the stealth black one. Personaly i think the bike looks great, one of the reasons is its different keep us informed of the developments.

Sorry for the off topic, but...
Is that a Kriega US10 (or US5) on the tank of the F800GS? Does it work well? Using the Kriega "Tank" tank attachment? Thanks!

Dunno about the bag, but the AT is Jonathan's, and having seen it in the metal (and kevlar) it is a thing of some beauty let me tell you...

I have a US-10 which I can vouch for as being a great bag. I have the tank adaptor but was not entirely happy with it as a tank bag. the US-10 has a roll to close top which is then fastened shut by two buckles on the side. It's not much good if you want to grab a camera quickly or fish something out as when it is opened on its side on top of your tank/faux tank other things can fall out.

I prefer it now as a tail pack.

@Gunz why did Stevie73 come up in conversation?

check out this gallery for US-10 fitting etc

I think it was Sgt.Bilco talking Dakar & people who knew a person of a person. Think Steve73 might have a overland beast is what I gathered or misinterpreted.

Thanks for the pics! I've put the US10 on my faux tank and I thought it was too big for what I wanted, your pics kind of confirms that. I'd like to try mount my US5 on there to see if it's any better, but I guess I have to go buy the tank adapter for that. Not a biggie, it's not that expensive. Thanks again!

I'll sell you mine if you are interested. I've stored it away and need to confirm I have all the straps first but a £10 +p+p should cover it. It was never used in action Tried it a few times on my daily commute and then took it off.

Now that's music to the ears

Good luck Jon

Cheers Micky, I'm back in the fray. It has taken a while to get back on track but all systems are go and this time around the whole setup is leaner and lighter
