Hi - My names Rob and im a bike mad idiot
52 years young, been riding since i was 17 always owned a bike but a few years when the kids were younger i didn't get out much.
Now doing more miles than ever i commute , go out for fun, been to Spain 3 times on my current bike a 2004 DL 1000, rock solid reliable and cheap to run but i fancy a change ive done 35K miles on it now its on 44k so ready for a change.
Been looking at all the adventure bikes as I'm 6'2" with a dodgy knee so i need a good distance between bum and footpeg. Came down to a BMW GS, Guzzi STelvio or a Tenere, the other 2 seem to have a number of issues (stelvio in general) and the rear drive bearings on the GS.
So looking for a bargain S10 - not bothered about pretty as i will get it really mucky and im lazy at cleaning - So learned S10 owners what do i need to look for any models best avoided etc - any advice welcome - thanks !!!!!!
