There is no need to feel blue about it.......
The lengths you’ll go to, to be the same as Tricky
I love him..... and want to be like him..
Lots of lovely buttons to press.
Nice choice congratulations Twizzle! Two more restless nights 'til Wednesday though.....
What (if anything) are you doing for luggage?
No Luggage for me - just a roll bag strapped on the rack..... tis all I need.
Congrats on getting your second choice. Shame the bike you really wanted didn’t fit.

My name’s Twizzle and I’ve just bought a 1200 Rallye TE.
I collect it Wednesday.
That’s it... i’m Out of the closet now.
Best of the GSes ever
Best of the GSes ever
Well I've had a R100RT, then R1100GS, R1150GS, R1200 GSA ( not in that order I must add) and now this one..... it will be interesting to see if it lives up to expectations - shame in some respects as I really, really wanted the R1200 Scrambler I have to work out... I love looking at it, love the way it sounds and goes - but push comes to shove I need to recognise that I'm just too big for it...... and the "Numb Nuts" were a bit of a problem after 40 miles - looked long and hard at the KTM 1290R but cannot get past the Headlight and KTM dealers could only offer bum basic trade ins on the SX..... and the Africa Twin Sport was favoured but I could not fit on it as the tank lobes spread my legs too wide.... (Long Legs, will not fit in the recess) so after a small amount of soul searching and a dealer who made the transition both attractive and easy the deal was done.
Collection Wednesday and Carol Nash didn't leg me up too much either so good to go!!!

Did you ride the 1290R or just look at it?
Looking was enough... also I found the 1050 a bit too Rev happy, I prefer the nature of the boxer twin TBH - also I don’t need all that power ....and the ergonomics of the Rallye suit me.
Plus the BMW dealer kicked the shite out of them commercially.......
Rainbows and glitter coloured
Poof!
Yep, and happy to be so...
I remember that night fondly
