Returning to the fold
« on: November 12, 2025, 21:53:56 »
Been away with the 'Panzer tractors' for the past few years but now back to my Spiritual Home. GS/GSA great bikes but getting back on the DL1050 DE reminded me how much I missed the engaging nature of the Suzuki. Feel more connected to the bike and the handling, (even) with the 21 inch front is superb. Finally got the grin back when riding. Drinks all round then.
