A few on here will no doubt know me, many of them from running me to various A&E departments every time I’ve fallen off - thought I was the bees knees at enduro riding, but for some reason I’m safer on tarmac. That said, I’ve decided to give it another go , so gone for the soft option - a GS Rallye - this one is the Sport, or TE, which I’ve specced as much as I can, then striped down, removing the supplied seat (Rallye seat in its place), pillion footpegs and swapping the screen for a low sports one. Added some nifty engine bars from Wunderlich, which are a great match to the frame.
Had a couple of GS before and an Adventure too, which I just found too bulky, although a great machine. Back with a little more experience, I hope I can sneak a little off the beaten track with the Rallye. I’m certainly not scared of the odd scratch.
Took this snap in Skipton a week or so back.
Since then I’ve chucked on a headlight guard, some indicator guards front and rear and I’ve decided to go for the aluminium panniers (no top box) a tinted sports screen and some HP levers, which will go on this week.
All the gear - no idea, but I have more time now and already planning for some trips away, home and abroad, a ROSPA course and looking into a few off-road shin digs in sunnier climes...
Hope to catch up with some of you guys on here and maybe out in the open.
