Hi From London. Auf Wiedersehen Gsadv, Ciao Desertx

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by GreyIrishTiger, Aug 18, 2023.

  1. So after thirty years of loyalty to the GS Adventure, ignoring the brief six month fling with an Africa Twin, I’ve emigrated to aDesertX.

    My most recent GSA, a ‘21 1250 GSA Rallye, was a great bike. Akin to a Swiss Army knife and my fifth GSA. I ran it for over 2yrs and 13k miles. Ruthlessly efficient and reliable. Just missing the fun factor.

    I’ve bought a one owner ‘22 DesertX with 500miles from Ducati Bournemouth. The previous short lived owner added a lower seat, engine bars, barkbusters, touring windscreen, larger bash plate and a Garmin XT sat nav. It wants for nothing. I had two test rides and it just made me smile. Looking forward to enjoying the bike around the Surrey Hills and South Downs.

    Nice to meet you all.

  5. If you're never going near a field or off-road track; none. But its well worth adding one, many brands availble for the duke or if you've a mate with a welder kit a piece of mild steel!
