The stable is complete

[Fat Rat]

I have been looking around for a while now, for a low mileage DL1000 (non stupid beaked version, obviously).

This one came up, a 2008 GT with 19k 

It does have the very common reversed pannier fault though, I will trawl the forum for a fix for that.

Wait until the retainer chords break and then you can swap the lids between panniers to reverse the reflectors.

Great choice and the best colour.

If I'm not mistaken (and I probably am)  graingerblaze is selling some good cheap bits you might like.

Well done Andy, is it spider invested?

Asking for a friend.         

[Fat Rat]

I deliberately sought out the more expensive black frame model.  Black frames matter!

No spiders have invested, I stumped up my own cash

He'll never learn.

JEEEEEZZE only 19k my 08 had 32k on it when I bought it and 64 when I traded it in 3 1/2 years later. don't people ride bikes these days? just wash polish and put back away?

Great purchase Andy 👌..

I miss my old Vee ..

The stable is never complete.
There's a simple formula:

Optimum number of bikes = Number currently in (garage/stable/shed) +1

Congratulations on the latest addition. I'd say there's a space in your collection for a small, lightweight runabout (CRF300L? RE Scram?). Just a thought.
