greiffster Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Well, new to me. I hear these GS's are all the rage. I'm gonna find out. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) Looks Great, Congrats! Edit The Heidenau tires may be a little alarming on the road at first, but you will get use to them. Pat Edited November 6, 2016 by TEWKS Link to comment
greiffster Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 Edit The Heidenau tires may be a little alarming on the road at first, but you will get use to them. You know, they're really not too bad. A little interesting in the turns as you can feel the blocks and a bit buzzy at higher speeds. But, I was expecting worse. They did work like a champ when I came home yesterday across the empty lots in my subdivision and through my backyard to the driveway. Got an interesting look from my neighbor. Link to comment
eddd Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) Congrats! ...but there is work to be done! 1. You need to purchase $4000 worth of additional gear from these folks: Touratech (In case you think $4000 sounds like a lot of accessories, not to worry, it will be gone in no time.) 2. Install purchased gear onto bike. 3. Head out for your first adventure bike challenge: Epic Trip Edited November 6, 2016 by eddd Link to comment

Got an interesting look from my neighbor. See, it was dormant in there all this time : ) I'm betting you'll love it. Bob, not want, you NEED one of those. Link to comment

But, I'm waiting on my new Rallye suit before I head out to Panera Bread. Link to comment

greiffster Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 So if Allen's is Exxon, are calling yours Mobil? I don't know, but I put 17 bucks in gas in it and it wasn't even close to empty. Link to comment

Mike Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Very nice! I'm intrigued by the idea of a preowned GS, but I worry that they are sometimes abused . . . by things like being ridden on gravel roads. Link to comment
Burt Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Nice bike. Congratulations. TY. I'll trade you straight up for yours? I'm just getting it set up the way I want it. Link to comment

For the price of a new one, you could get 3 of these. Surely, one of them has got to be a good one. Link to comment
KTM Doug Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Very nice!
