Hey, hope everyones having a good Sunday evening!
Figured I'd join the forum as it seems to be a goldmine for info and meeting enthusiastic people.
I just bought my 2005 R1200GS after a test ride at the dealers. 26000 miles, FSH etc. completely standard and has the Vario side cases.
I was also considering an 07 Tiger 1050 but fell in love with the GS before I even went to view it!
I'm going to get to go pick it up on Thursday or Friday and I cant wait!
Anything I should be looking out for on my shakedown run? I was going to add a picture of the bike but cant seem to figure out how! There is almost definitely a guide on here telling me how to right? Ahh well.
Anyway, a bit about me, I'm Lewis, I'm 23 and I make beer for a living (so if I run into any of you fine people on a campsite I'll probably have something nice in my panniers for you.) I love camping and hiking, generally being outdoors.
I look forward to hearing about everyones adventures and getting any tips on living with the GS!
Cheers!
Lewis
