Well the day finally arrived and I collected my very first GS today.:D:D:D
First impressions? Why the hell didn't I do this years ago? Haven't been over 5000rpm but have already put 200 miles on it.

Already got a few modifications planned, powder coating those silver panels on the tank, get it run is as soon as. HID and iPhone holder/charger fitted tonight. Happy Happy Happy. And a mahoosive TY to my lovely GF for running me down to York on her new Bandit 1200. And for following me up to Tan Hill for a brew afterwards:thumb2
 
Congrats, nice looking machine there.....:thumb2

May the bling, ahem, essential accessories shopping commence.....:green gri
 
That new bike feeling's great isn't it?
Enjoy!
 
Congratulations. Now, quick, leave the site before you get bullied shamelessly by the non-1200 owners, or driven to dispair by the ex-BMW owners :thumb

Or swap it for an 800, 'cause we mostly get left alone :D

YOU DONT HAVE TO BUY ONE OF MINE but I really really recommend you get a crud catcher to keep the front of that engine in good condition

You're right, I don't have to, but I might want to!

Bullies don't scare me, 1st day as a GS'er and three 'easy riders' tried to have a go at the BMW owner up at Tan Hill, they very quickly left with their tails between their legs.

I have picked up some very useful bits from this site already. Most important I have found so far is 'Make your own mind up'. And so far all I can say is Wow, I wish I had got one years ago.

Good lad :thumb

Mind you, the whole HOG is a piece of pee compared to Proff when he gets going :D

Its a feeling that will probably last the rest of your biking days. 10 years down the line its the only regret I have about ownership.
Cattrick - you're spoilt !
