New to me.....950 ADV-S
My dream is coming true....I have wanted a 950 S for several years and I just pulled the trigger. I am eager to test out the full 265mm of suspension.
The bike comes with the Gobi's and check out that seat.....the wifey ought to be happy on that thing. (I do get a second seat that is more dirt oriented.) Giddy Up.....Imma happy feller!!!!! Now I just need to get to AZ and ride it home. My first ride will be 900 miles, back to Colorado. A little Fly, Buy and Ride.

Don't know if I will keep it or not, but will give it a test. I fly out for Tucson on Monday afternoon and will buy and finalize the deal. Crashing at a Sierra Vista hotel, then up and gone on Tueday morning.....riding it home. I plan to ride the famous AZ highway, 191.......on my way to Albuquerque. Hope to connect with Burque on Tuesday evening for some famous New Mexico chili! ....

My 05.5 S in Baja
Just got back from 10 days on the 950S in Baja. What a great bike! I can only imagine what this bike would be capable of in the hands of a younger, stronger, better rider. This bike is so competent and forgiving it makes a mediocre rider feel like a pro.
 Love this bike! Now I just need to drop a few pounds and hit the gym  .
