Went into Teasdale motorbikes at thirsk on wed and have got a Ktm 1050 adventure, after having a test ride I really liked the way it went , got a deal on a new one with out luggage and them to fit some heated grips , for £9080 otr , I tried to get a ex demo which a few dealers had advertised for £8500 ,offered them £8000 but no one would so have got a new one ,pick it up on sat ,this is going to be my light weight back roads bike. Ireland here I come , still got me gtr canot part with it yet , :biker3:
Once a GTR man always a G T R Man new bike will be fantastic. Enjoy. And if you do get rid of GTR can I have your Russell seat!
Enjoy the new ride :scooter: :punk:

Neil I can relate to that, but the S10 attraction is SO strong for me :yes:
Picked it up on sat afternoon ,and had a quick 110m ride round , out on Sunday for a blast around Lincolnshire lots of twisty muddy roads , one big 10min spell of rain , well so far am more than pleased with my purchase , it's very well balanced , all light controls , picks up in 5th and 6th gear in a instance , and has you going along at speeds that feel steady untill you look at the speedo , bumpy roads are now smooth , the ability to avoid mud and change direction are brilliant , down to the skinny wheels and tyres , the more I ride it the more I am gelling with it , just got to keep away from the accessories list , roll on next spring , any sunny days til then I will use it , gave the gtr a good polish and now away untill next year , :biker3:
Enjoy :scooter: :punk: :punk:
