Yet another new one!!
« on: August 25, 2008, 23:44:36 »
Hello all, as you can probably guess my name is Mark and I have a GSX (which is in various bits around the place!!). I live in the North, depending on where you live of course, Huddersfield being the place, or to give it its correct name 'Uddersfield as the locals say.

I recently had to sell my BMW 1200GSA and to replace it I have just bought a 1000K7 GT which I have covered around 700 miles on. Not as smooth ride as the beemer but a lot more eager, with a bit of luggage on the Strom's headlight points skywards quite easily!! This has caught me out a couple of times.

Currently looking to add some bits, bigger screen, madstad , twinduro's etc so have found some useful info on here. I took the beemer across the N York moors a coupla times and plan to do the same with my Strom.

Welcome to the forum. Have you seen the 'Madstad Multi Buy' posting elsewhere on this forum?
I can recommend the MRA Vario screen but there's a cheaper option on the forum too.
