Well lockdown? Not really, got a key worker get out of fines free card!

Anyway have stored my mates GS in my garage for the last 6 years, and having bought 3 bikes, all of which still left me wishing I had bought a GS, I finally did it. The MT-09 goes on Wednesday, to be replaced by my first GS.. Can’t wait!

Anyway, father to 4 great kids, twice divorced and finally found a bit of the good life in the Moorlands. Committed appreciator of the peaks area, no doubt see some of you up there sometime.

Hi to all and stay safe!!

Alan

Welcome Alan,

The MT-09 is really a solo only bike - there is virtually no passenger accommodation (knees under the chin) plus a laughably small load capacity. I am still enjoying mine for day rides.

Enjoy the GS for the longer journeys - maybe even two-up.
