Very similar to the GS’s. Quickshifter/blipper good. Screens utterly useless if your 6t or more. Throttle snatchy on the GT. Slight high frequency tingle through pegs as well. Brakes on both very good. I though damping was better on the fat tank one too. The bikes only had 50 miles on them so tight as a gnats chuff. All in pretty impressive. Have ridden all the current big adv’s now and it’s in my top 2.
Mate has ktm with snatchty throttle, he's spend a absolute fortune getting it to run properly. It's the emissions standards gear ruining slow speed throttle action.
Drove 9 hrs to drop my bud’s Aprilia Tuono to it’s new owner in Bournemouth, loaded the van up ready for a week of work in Erith. A big week of 12 hour working days to look forward to.
I like the look of Norden or Yamaha 700 tenere kind of floats my boat, like the basic no frills approach.
Apart from getting the scrambler picked up for its first service I’ll be starting to pull together my stuff ready for my UK holiday at the end of the week, and for my European holiday in a fortnight’s time
Reading up on the internet this morning about Derek Bell the racing driver from Pagham, i think i might have bumped into him a couple of weeks ago on the harbour wall, but i can't be certain as an eighty year old man looks a little bit different from the those early Porsche photographs winning days....
Sat = bikes round to mates for stillage pick up. Took off mirrors and that damned evotech tail tidy which was a nuisance. Mon = Taunted the chelsea fan director this morning. YNWA
Done some ironing for my jollies, scrambler picked for its first service whilst I’m away. Now making some lunch
