very neat. I had heard about the compressor on the GS, fits in nicely with it's transcontinental/ Dakar rally remit

I had one of those but it was too much for me. Only put 2000 miles on it before I sold it and went back to dirt bikes Rode MX for a dealer (My cousin had the gift to gab and put that deal together.) Started on a 400 Suzuki. Again, too much for this little guy. Then they gave me a 125 Suzuki. I was 1st and 2nd in the points standings for 2 years before I got drafted.(49 years ago)

Well I have ridden my share of miles but never been the competitive type.
But belated congratulations on your achievements.
