Race Dog
Tarnished, defective, scarred, blemished.
What was once a spotless GS is no more
Leaving for work this morning, I freewheel, the 1200GS to the bottom of the driveway, pop the side stand out and walk back to close the gates. Behind me, I hear the 1200 seems to be idling a bit rough, turn round just in time to see it tumbling over :shock:
Run and pick it up, too my relief the damage was minor. Thank goodness for those flat cylinders that stick out so far, plus the R2500 crash bars I fitted.
Still this really pisses me off. The road looked flat , but obviously the bike disagreed. Four months old and I have managed to drop it already . The R1 managed 4 years without a single tumble. Okay, so there was the one time, while offloading it from the back of the bakkie in a semi inebriated state that I managed to scratch the belly pan...
So here is the state of affairs
At least I know the GS is toppleoverworthy :evil:
The grumbling continues ....
