Good choice.
However, the Adventure is impervious to rain, though I'm not so sure about tap water though.

230 miles today, and I am definitely a happy boy! The pleasure has suddenly returned to my riding, and that’s not to say the Crosstourer was a bad bike, it’s just that it and I weren’t getting along so well!!
As to the new GS, well, the engine was as tight as a drum this morning, but is just starting to ease off a bit, so it’s revving a bit more freely tonight. “Road” mode is quite quick enough, “Dynamic” mode just makes the bike fly, and with such low mileage on the clock, that didn’t get used much at all today. The tyres are indeed Michelin Anakee III and I thought they were dreadful coming home in the rain yesterday, but brand new tyres on a brand new £13+k bike in the rain is never going to be an inspiring combination! Today, once they were scrubbed in, I reckon am impressed with them.
The one thing I’ve not mastered yet is finding neutral. It must be in there somewhere, but I’m afraid I’ve always taken 2 or 3 attempts to find it. That apart, the gearbox is very smooth, much nicer than my old 59 plate GS.
So, all good. Tomorrow’s plan is to do another couple of hundred miles, then I’ll be well on the way to the first service at 600.
