It was owned by one of the mechanics at Triumph Newcastle and he did the full valve service etc not long before I bought it, I have heard good things about Teasdales and it is worth speaking to Ali in Ashington (Alspeed) who used to Ian Bells senior mechanic

I get my 890 serviced at Teasale - they did my 1190R too after M & S lost the franchise.
You will simply love that 1190; no ifs or buts.
After 18 years of BMW, including 7 GS I am taking a chance on this

Make sure you get the pillion footrests/hangers with it as your current set up (pillion seat & no pillion footrests) will/should fail an MOT
Never knew about that - school day again.
Thank you

I have also just gone over to a KTM and gone for a 2019 1290 GT with the full touring pack. Getting her delivered in 2 weeks from a garage in Nottingham.
I have had 4 GSA’s over the past 20 years and fancied a change. Hope I have done the right thing….

very nice indeed! Keep us up to date with your ownership.
I had an early 1190, sold it with over 50k on the clock. I preferred it to the 1290 I replaced it with. You’ll love it.

Or you can remove the pillion seat and replace it with a hard surface. My GS always passes with the BMW luggage plate in place of the pillion seat and no pillion footrests.
Ditto my old GS although, coincidentally and not by design re the regs, I've now removed the pillion pegs.

Looks great Neil!
Northumbria must be the place for katooms
My son bought a lovely 990 advent in white which came from Tony (ynot) of this parish and who is in your area.
Biggest regret was trading it after few years of great fun. Still misses it!

I've just checked my attic and I have a pair of the KTM panniers (plastic) that should fit straight on that bike.
You are more than welcome to them as you aren't from Sunderland.

Whey, what a genuine Geordie
Do I need to send a copy of my birth certificate to prove I was born in The Green at Wallsend?
(pm on it’s way)
It does mean that you will have to cross the river to pick them up.
Have you got it yet ?

Nah, they were rushed off their feet prepping new reg’s, and now look at the feckin’weather!
They’re closed Wednesday’s so I’ll call them tomorrow. If weather is still pants and roads covered in ice or salt, I’ll arrange a delivery.
According to my Calendar it is March, so I think you will be arranging delivery ;-)
Although we had a nice week in March in 2011 and another one last year, so not due another for about a decade.
