Free 1150GSA

[short001]

That got you looking.....

I am pricing shipping my bike to Canada and the company have just e mailed me for the size of my bike (1150GSA).
I need:
a. max height
b. max width
c. max length

I just went out to the garage armed with a measuring tape, pen and paper to measure it myself. My heart nearly sank when my GS was gone, stolen.....
but then I remembered that I took it to Scotland last weekend

Can someone please give me the dimentions ASAP so that I can e mail them back.

PS Sorry this is on the wrong section, but for maximum exposure.

Regards,

Davie.

Owners Manual

Thanks for that, but it's also 800 miles away from me

Should be easy for a fellow GSer to have a look at theirs

all that info should be your owners manual

size matters

might also help to include unladen weight, ready to ride, tank full, which are 253kg/276.5kg (558lb/609.6lb) (I don't follow these)
dry weight is 232kg (511lb)

from my 03 GS manual, but it includes GSA figures which are those quoted above.

Cheers for the info Ronnie.

I will e mail them back now and await the quote

Hopefully it will be reasonable and Voyager can have his garage all to his self for the next 2 years.

What did you win? 2 pints of beer when we meet

Davie.

2 pints? I'd have been more than happy with 1, but never a gift horse in the mouth look I always say.

Luvverly couple of pints of Brains SA would go down a treat. Mmmmmm.

Where in the realms of Blighty are you for me to collect your bounteous prize of these 2 foaming tankards before you head off to that there Canada? Your avatar doofer doesn't give much of a hint. Never fear, I shan't stalk you. Well, probably not anyhoo

Did you go for 2 pints cos of the smiley I put next to enquiry re prize? If I'd known it works that way, I'd have done a smiley by an Aston Martin or similar.......

Its really no problem if you want to leave it with me Dave, the garage needs a clear out anyway.

I'll be offering the K1200GT for sale shortly (once its been MOTd & taxed) so I might have even more space available.

Bob.


P.S. Ronnie69 . . I've bad news for you. Dave is in Germany and heading for Canada for two years. I hope your thirst can wait

I am interested to know who you are using, and if you don't mind letting on, how much they are going to charge you...

...I'm thinking of doing something similar for a big trip in 2010...

Cheers

Bob,

I'll let you know what's happening soon (60 - 40 for shipping at the moment). We will have to go for a run out when I am back in Scotland at the end of next month (23rd - 30th May).


When I have received my quote I will post the price for all to see.
