Love at first sight..

Must admit it is indeed quite a feeling riding out of the showroom with less than 10km on the clock. Bit of a schlep running it in, but a nice schlep. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy and ride safe.

Current running in procedure for the new 1200GS
0 - 200km max 5500revs (150km/h)
200 - 400 max 6500revs (175km/h)
400 - 600 max 7500 revs (200km/h)
600km plus - can take to red line in short bursts.

No shlep at all...

And this is Bike numberrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr congrats DP.

Congrats Dot!! Very very nice!!!

Yes - one can then say love at first sight, first sight, first sight ........

Now with the power vested by me I can now officially declare you the GS hugger

Hi Dot,

Congratulations.

The white GS should look even nicer with a bit of dust on!

Now all you need is a new helmet, and ..... - start preparing your wish list for AMID.

No Deon - that would be a snowman/woman!!

That is SO funny, I just don't know how to respond !!

Dot, you look absolutely stunning, you got Abe itching for a new bike, he loves your rims many many happy kms of riding.

Got the rims in 'error'. Not sure how because that apparently is not spec for SA.

please just do not change the RR's rims now for spokes, won't work

Thanks all so many posts, so little time to respond -

- No way, my rims are my rims and they here to stay. Is mos nie 'n 'trap' fiets nie! [wink-wink]

- No schlep running in... as Dave had said already revs quite high, and wow! the power, the torque...ol-la-la.

- AMID is a yes (Daaaave). Come with Pikkie, you and Deon can help me carry the shopping bags - I'll let you touch my bike.

In summary, the white is nice. I am probably a bit of a 'stalker', yes I am a stalker, every now and then I look at a pic, stop and stare - ya/nee! the more I look the more I like

Shopping bags wont help if you dont remember to take all the panniers - make sure dave is on his GS - more than enough place for all the shopping bags then.

I have just thought of the new number plate :

SNO DOT GP

Good idea LeRoy... I need as much carry space as possible - that with Deon, Pikkie, my and now Dave's bikes - bring the tie downs too!

Oh Deon you are sharp... SNO DOT. You know, it could also be short for Dave saying 'it's a no Dorothy' said real quickly like... s'no Dorothy!!! (s'no Dorothy you can't have another new bike, s'no Dorothy you can't buy on my credit card, s'no Dorothy you can't....and... and....)!

True - but if you pronounce it to fast i can also come out very unacceptable

The new bike is even faster so your plate definitely won't be :

SLO DOT GP
