Glad to see you are keeping it clean. I'm just working up the courage to admit to the world that I bought a 1250GS. For Christ's sake, don't tell anyone...


ah... :oops: ... schoolboy error on my part.

You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

Congratulations, you're obviously a man of taste :D . They're great bikes, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

As for you Paul, I'm trying to remember all the scornful remarks you made about my GS's :) :)

Cheers
