New Transalp Commuter!! BBBRRRRR

[mostlyskint]

Hi All
Tomorrow Im off in a big van to fetch a 2000 XL600v Transalp complete with luggage and crash bars.. Cant wait.
The only problem is I will then have to ride 20miles to work and back each day. I feel some heated grips coming on.

This will be my second TA last one was an 87 and I really liked it 15 years ago!!
So watch this space I will post a piccie once its home and cleaned up.
Thanks for the info by the way, Ive found the forum really useful while making the decision to take the plunge again

Welcome to the site mate

you already know how good the TA is , and heated grips are a must have accessory.

Welcome to the forum.

Heated grips should be standard fitting on bikes nowadays in stead of extras.
