Great The Mighty Gryphon. The smooth triple feels so nice compared to especially the V-Strom 1000 which even with clutch basked mod never quite felt what I would have ideally wanted. The smaller engine on those was much smoother.
I have done my fair share of travel on the old bikes (Finland, Italy, some shorter ones) and love camping trips in Ireland. The old ugly head of the idea to do another SS1000 ride, which I first attempted a couple of times on the Africa Twin before completing it on the V-Strom 1000, sounds like potential source of amusement for 2021. Looking back I should really have had a comfy touring bike before this RT I think. But better late than never I guess.
Thanks again for a warm welcome everybody: I think I will like it here. Love working on machines in general and the K bikes appear to be very well thought out and built just right.
