Well almost....
Hoping to pick it up on Friday

Hi all
I recognise some of the names here from
that GS site

I'm moving from a 1200GSA, my second GSA & my third GS. They're a brilliant bike & I've loved every minute of the nearly 200,000KM I've ridden on them. But I'm not getting any younger & the bike's not getting any lighter so I decided a change was in order. I had considered a standard 1200 LC but when I rode the XR for a couple of hours I knew I was in love. I also tried the Multi 1200 but I think I'd get tired of the noise very quickly & I didn't think it handled as well as the XR. IMHO.
I've just bought an Evotech rad & oil cooler cover and hopefully that will be here in time to get the dealer to fit it before I take the bike out - I've a good bit of milage to do this weekend and our minor roads, my favourite playground, are covered in sh1t this time of year. Once I've got a few miles on it I'll decide what else I 'need'. I can see a screen, levers (the standard clutch lever is truly horrible !), engine bars and maybe a few other bits of bling in my future.
I see there's a few other XR's both north & south of our island but I've yet to meet any on the road. Hopefully youse don't keep them locked up for the winter...
See youse
