Hello Chaps,
Just a wee intro from me before I delve into the foreign adventures section.
Names Dave, from S.W Scotland. Have had my bike licence for 20 years, but done the usual, have kids/sell bike thing, but a couple of years ago decicided to get back in the saddle. I was persuaded by a friend to get a bike again and join him on a quick blast to Holland for the MotoGP. For this, there was only one bike. It had to be a Ducati (to scratch that particular itch)
A VERY low mileage 749s was purchased, and off I went, and fell in love with biking again.
After a few long distance tours, pub talk turned to the idea of going to Chernobyl on a bike. Negotiations with the wife resulted in us, i.e the wife/kids and I taking separate holidays this year, so I can fulfill an ambition.
Only one bike would do, had to be a GSA.
For six months, I have been monitoring every GSA on Autotrader/eBay/ Gumtree, and initially was wanting to buy the last of the air cooled ones, but for an extra grand, found a 2014 LC with full luggage and only 8000miles!
Only thing it doesn’t have is satnav, so will be on the lookout for a nav5 or 6........and maybe an Akarapovic exhaust!
Hopefully I will be able to join in and glean some info on my forthcoming adventure at the end of the years
Cheers
Dave
