Title: Finally got me one - F800GS to GTR1400...
Post by: Stephen.Stallebrass on October 08, 2013, 07:44:01 PM
Hi all:

I introduced myself just over a year ago F800GS to GTR1400... (http://"http://www.gtr1400.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic,2253.0/topicseen.html") when I got back from an adventure on my GS and was looking to get a GTR1400. Well I've finally pulled the trigger and got me a beautiful black 2011 Kawasaki GTR1400 with 27k miles for £7k from Watford Kawasaki.

Say hello to Tessie, no pannier pics in these dealer shots, but you lot already know what they look like... hopefully take delivery some time this week:

PS: I decided to keep the GS... at least for now, after everything we went through I couldn't bare to sell her.

Welcome (again) Stephen, I remember your initial introduction which doesn't seem like a year ago, how time flies, just like your new GTR  :clap:

Stephen, very pleased for you, I'm sure you'll have no regrets. 27k, is nothing if it's been well maintained. I've just been reading your previous travel thread and I'm still very envious of you.

Good to have you on board officially now.  :clap:

Welcome aboard Steve. Now you need to pick it up and go play on those roads around Sarratt. :-)

Well, I've not seen you ride for a year so you might have lost your touch.
