advgrrl Posted August 22, 2015 My Ride Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) I recently moved from beautiful BC, Canada back to my home state NY after an 18 year leave. Adjusting has been weird living in the USA no less living on LI...FLAT. I traded my '13 F800GS in for a '15 1200GSW and loving every bit of this new machine. Have over 1300 miles on her after 3 weeks of ownership. Got my Pro settings added after my 600 mile service and HOLY there is a big difference in the riding modes. Took her off road, really easy off road at the TT rally a week or so back. She did great. I now have a full set of Jesse Luggage and AltRider protection. She looks great, is protected and now all I need to do is head off of LI and find places where people do not go. I have been riding my whole life but on the road since 2008. Too many bikes I have been through before I found the GS family in 2010. "10 F650GS my intro, '13 F800 step up and crazy good off road and now my '15 1200 because I have a passenger and although she will share in my ADV world I will continue to do solo long distance trips like I hve in the past. So, that's it. Looking forward to this forum and reading as well as sharing stories. Edited August 22, 2015 by advgrrl 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
