new to me TEX

Post by anthony29040 »

picked up my new to me bike today and my first impressions are good did about 100 miles today stopped at route 59 cafe in the dales for a brew.i really like the way it goes round corners it feels more planted than my gs800 the suspension is a lot firmer but you cant have it all.anyway lets see how it pans out over the next couple of months.

A fine choice indeed. Corners just as well when hopelessly overloaded, as is often the case when I go ride-about for a few weeks.

A nice purchase but I'm starting to get to the age where I admire old BMW's in the background.It's not even rose tinted specs as they're before my time! :lol:
