I’ve just done a deal to buy my old 1150ADV back………I’m soooooooo happy 
It’s coming home!!!

Nice one Phil 
So the next time you think of selling it .....
Whichever is your dominant side's hand
Lift it so it is at slightly above eye level
Speak to it and say I am thinking of selling my 1150GS Adv
At this stage its probably best to have glasses etc removed
AS you now want to accelerate the palm of the hand towards your forehead at least six times whilst repeating the phrase
"Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!"
Many Miles of Happy Smiles Phil!

Brilliant! I can easily imagine buying another Tesco 1150GS at some point, but the idea of buying my old Tesco 1150GS...that would be really special.
Enjoy it (again)!

Now you need to get the 1200 injector updates and it can be as quick as my 1100.
Well it’s been a long weekend, riding firstly to Inverurie near Aberdeen to drop off the 1250 and then on to Forres to pick up the 1150. Stayed in Forres and then rode home via Loch Ness, Fort William and Loch Lommond. The weather has been sketchy on the return, we were in Scotland after all, but I have decided……I am an 1150 guy.
I’ve had a smile all day long, even when it’s been pissing down.
I forgot just how lovely these bikes are. The bikes a bit tatty now, and needs some love, but the motor is absolutely lovely (if somewhat wheezy). Overtakes need to be planned now (the 1250 was just a powerhouse of efficiency in forward motion), but the old girl fair scoots along and the motor is like a finely tuned precision watch. It just thrums along smoothly and at tickover it sounds like everything inside the engine is made of solid parts, something akin to an old stationary engine.
I feel like the gearbox might have a whine when you shut the throttle, but I’ll need to do a bit more riding to make up my mind if it needs full investigation.
I do feel thoroughly zen though, I am at peace with my being……. I am an 1150 guy

What a lovely ending
I am in full agreement
And so am I.
Me too
Spent a couple of hours of Friday afternoon, just mooching on mine and they’re still great bikes
I feel the same with my 1100. Just had the shocks rebuilt by Luke and it rides great. On Sunday I head to Pyrenees for Mega Mondo with Austin Vince.
