Right here's to my first post then ....as you can tell I'm a newbie (not to forums I might add) who has just picked up a MY2009 R1200 GS in Slate Grey (Vines of South London Motorrad Ex' Demo) who incidently have been very good although I've gotta say I'm a model customer basically walked in last week said I want their Ex' Dem and part ex me old Speed Triple they gave me a fair trade no haggling paid the money and picked it up today tadah job done and I gotta say I'm very happy thus far ....all 45miles of it !!!! bike has every option as far as I'm aware plus a top box and an Akropovic can which sounds the business.
next week I'm back up to vines for a new lid (Enduro) new boots (GS Pro's) and New Suit ( not sure which yet.....I like the Rallye 2 suit but really need something waterprooof - all ideas welcome).....anyhows not gonna hang around tonight being Saturday an' all so apologies in advance for no replies cos I'm off out on the lash ......I know your gonna be a knowledgeable bunch of Motorrad heads so I'll look forward to chewing the fat with yawl sometime in the future...oh I'll bung a few pic's up tomoz (I'm sure you've all seen a GS before but what the hell eh!)

Rallye2 is totally waterproof as long as you keep the Goretex inners in.
You might want to wait a bit 'tho. The Rallye 3 will be out shortly.

Russ....

welcome to the Foorum Pleased your happy with your bike.Your clearly going to keep it for some time and you will not find a better place for any advice you may need than on here.Even me who currently rides a Blackbird finds this place great for entertainment and acquiring further knowledge so the £12 to become a sponsor is well worth the money especially given you can then trawl through the adverts.As they say go on you know it makes sense.
