Hi Micky
Thanks for the welcome. Yes that was me picking up the new bike. went for a little run 2hrs later i arrived home. Why didn't i change years ago im hooked. As for joining the mad House the wife claimes i've been a fully paid up member for years, but still doesn't stop her getting on the bike. I hope the bikes fixed soon and youre back out on the road

The bike's OK, it's in Rainbow for sale to make way for the new F800GS in March

I got the panniers from Wunderlich in Germany, I regularly ride across there, the Eifel being my favourite neck o' the woods

The Gobi's are strong but can be a bit wide when fitted. Here they are on my 650 Dakar >>>>
