WTB: Pipe and Slippers

You might find this forum useful http://www.ukgser.com/forums/

Lots of advice about all those important accessories that most GS owners
seem to bolt onto their bikes.

Apart from luggage mine is bog standard.

I've made quite a few friends there and they organise weekends away,
rideouts and trips abroad in the UKRM DFV style.

Then next time stand in front of the bike.

 

*you* are surely not going to tell me that the thought hadn't occurred
to you?

I'm sure I saw a link on here some time ago on this very topic.

 

Coo, ta.

Luggage is likely to be next big purchase; I /like/ the pukka Adventure
ally items, but baulk a little at the £1k asking price...

Excellent. Ta, matey.

Nice one Wik. You will need Alex to show you how to bounce off
GSXR1000's and light the back tyre up on those mountain hairpins...

checkout Vern's custom made ally items - seem to be a lot of happy
customers in the ukgser forum with them

 

I'm surprised at that. And not a little disappointed in you, fella.

Yeah, I would - but I can't be arsed, and can't work search engines.

 

Er, can I ask how much you paid?

 

You utter bastard. I thought I was only one on here with a GSA. At least
it's a different colour to my one.

Seriously, I think you will really enjoy it. You are certainly suited to it.

I see you have the engine bars and the larger tank. Did you also go for the
heated grips and the ABS?

There are loads of things you can do to improve it but I would recommend you
change the tyres to Tourances when those ones you have on there wear down.

Best of luck with it.

 

No.
;-p

So, who's hidden between you and the bike, and was it as good as your
expression makes out?

 

Yep. Seemed the right thing to do, like.

Mmm, the Michelins are ok, but I've heard several good things about the
Metzlers, so will prolly give them a go.

What sort of milage can one expect?

Thanks, mate.

Heh, /that/ I'm looking forward to. Might have to check out an off-road
course...

I think he just did.

But, of course the question should have been "would you mind telling me
what you paid?"

Fucking bokkers.
