    Hola, wow. All clean and shiny.
    It isn't quite all fecked up yet. There is a whole Touratech catalog of goodies to mount up on that new toy.
    Then go stand on the pegs and be adventurous.

    Nota (aka Mr. Cynical) is always there to encourage us or pee on our parade. Just ignore him Rich and go enjoy your new baby... anyway that you see fit. She is a beauty.

    Cereally, I wasn't being cynical. His is a very clean pristine bike. Several of my friends have like toys festooned with those bits of Carbon Fiber and wiggets from the catalogs. Decorating never ends.
    The standing on the pegs thing is something one sees the ADV trained riders doing.

    Looks REALLY nice Rich--congrats! Nice P:W ratio on that thing, without side cases: GS is 0.52HP/kg versus GT at 0.42HP/Kg versus FJR1300 at 0.50 HP/Kg. Thanks for reminding me again to take closer look--will do

    The standing on the pegs is critical for control on rough dirt/trails. Do it and you will quickly learn it isn't just for show.
