New Goodies

Well I am already attempting to make it properly muddy by riding some gravel roads

Picked up some new stuff today since I gots some b-day money

Got the adv beak cause I liked it better

Gave it a bath and looks all shiny again, forgot to take the damn shop towels off the seat, doh

Then I took a little ride over to the fine folks at Dual Sport Touring. Francois and Megan are good people and I highly recommend a visit if you are in town or look em up on the webz at www.dualsporttouring.com

They were ever so kindly to let me purchase one of these fine Shoei Hornets from their store. It's not much to look at now, but once I start adding some stickers as I go along, it will look much better. For now, I am working with an empty canvas waiting for vinyl.

NICE! we're gonna have to stop in to that shop when I come up.

I wish you'd stop tempting the rest of us with the ADV bike.

I'd love to have one....a pup tent....some basic camping supplies....gear the bike up on a Thursday night....and ride out into the Flint Hills of Kansas Friday night after work....ride home again sometime Sunday. It would be AWESOME.

Jealous? Me? Nope...not a bit.

Ks, best decision I have made. I want to marry this bike.

I think it is sweet although the silver 800 had my eye for the DS role. Alas I will have to live vicariously thru you as I am married to the asphalt for at least 48 months. At least I hope to stay on the asphalt...

That is perfect! Maybe the orange will camouflage the fact that it's a pussy bike!!!

The 05-06 GS's had a lot of rear shock failures all around. The 05-06-07 had a lot of quirky issues, some of which were inherited with the 08-09 and some were fixed.
