the nerd Posted March 19, 2020 Share First "upgrade" will definitely be a deflector on top of the windshield, the normal screen screen is just a tad short. I can recommend war eagle for a taller screen... They custom make the screens in PTA and are really well priced. I had a factory deflector on my first Versys and once you got it perfect it was only ok... https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21ACbdZFD%2DEPurvy8&cid=8F091167BB272121&id=8F091167BB272121%2171556&parId=8F091167BB272121%2170865&o=OneUp BenReaper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoddieJ Posted March 19, 2020 Share Went to go have a look and test drive a F800GS this afternoon. Had the wife along aswell to check seat sizing. It's a well used, but well maintained bike for a very good price. Just about what I expected handling and power wise and the seat height is just about perfect for me. I'm still going to go test my mates V-Strom this afternoon, but I might be sold on the GS.Looks like you found your bike.... :thumbs: BenReaper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be a normal motorcyclist, no hard Enduros, jumps etc. Only bike other than the BMW at the moment would be the Africa Twin for sure.

BenReaper Posted March 27, 2020 Share Hey guy's, how was the first day of lockdown? So this arrived yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately had loads of stuff to finish off at work and came home past 7pm. Could only go for a short spin in town and then had to stare at it everytime I came out the front door today.

sawystertrance Posted March 28, 2020 Share Nice Ben. For a long time I've been wanting to ride to Stettynskloof. When this is all over perhaps we could take a ride there. BenReaper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji106] Was headed up there new year's day with my DR, stopped about halfway up to grab a pic and realized this little Bushpiggy was leaking oil out the one side casing so I turned around and was lucky to make it back without any engine damage. sawystertrance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you feel for company and you are in the George area after all this lockdown is done, shout, perhaps I can show you some cool routes in my area. sawystertrance and BenReaper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only backroad I know round there is Montagu Pass, have only done it in my bakkie, but have it on my bucket list for both bike and bicycle.
