Hi... just joined up today and thought I would introduce myself. ( I might be a bit previous, I don't have my bike yet ) Name is Ken , better known as Grumpy, from Far South Coast NSW. Retired with some disabilities (like falling off ) New GSF1250 was to arrive last Wed. 22 12 2010, but ....but.. it did not arrive until 12 pm Friday and accessories did not arrive at all.... nothing today.. tomorrow ????. Currently on a SV650 ..restoring a Bultaco Metralla. Ride with Ulysses 3 times a week. Have spinal degeneration with weakness in legs so hope I can hold the Bandit up. Used to race dirt track in 60s and 70s. Have a tendency to LURK look listen and learn rather than post. ...............................Grumpy Twisted Evil ( I like this bloke !!! )
