Have now relented after my recent Blade Group inspired dummy spitting outburst, curiosity got the better of me so I have a DCT test ride booked elsewhere for this coming weekend. I hope the AT is as good as the promoters on here say it is!
Come on guys who owns an Africa Twin ???

I'll keep this brief, I expected not to like the AT and the DCT system in comparison to my KTM. I was mistaken, I came out of the test ride quite impressed by the bike, the engine and the DCT system. Never before have I ridden a parallel twin which I liked, that has now changed.

Nice to read that you liked it. I've gone completely away from IL4's and don't mind what configuration a Twin comes in. I do sometimes wonder should I have gone DCT as it really is superb.

Check this video out. It gets a bit annoying after a few minutes becuase of the bloody awful music but forward it to a couple of minutes from the end and watch the "out takes" ......

Well I'm in now . Took the day off for a ride around on Monday and ended up at my local deal lings in Ipswich. After a look around thought I might as well have a go as I really was curious about the dct. A quick 15 minute bimble/blast really go my cogs turning. They had a black dct in stock with 3500 miles on so I slept on it for a couple of days did some sums and put a deposit down . Can't pick it up till the 13th June which is disappointing but hey ho. Getting back on my 07 gs made me realize how much things have changed.
I was really happy with the GS riding up there but coming home it felt old and tired. Expensive day out but looking forward to no clutch are gear lever . Happy days indeed

Over 7000 miles on mine now. Still as happy as a very happy thing.

Is that all ?
I've done 3000 miles on my new KTM in 4 weeks

That's down to being retired with so many things to do and not enough time to do them......
Easily done if you ride somewhere very far away , repeat for a few days and then come back home again .......

Maybe I should retire I've only got 900 miles on my AT and I've had it since March 2016 although in saying that, I've got over 500 on my Fatboy and I've only had that since January. ......maybe I need to get out more

Just keep in mind, retirement isn't it's all cracked up to be.
It's better....

Saw the new for 2017 metallic red in a dealers last week. I though it look good an quite classy.
