MacDoc's new ride 2018 MT03 ends with 2017 GS310 loaded mebbe?

Got tired of chasing a rear carrier solution for now and pulled the trigger on the larger Nelson Rigg tank bag that will fit my laptop and give me more space for camera etc.

My straps are already in place and have until Jan 31st to return.

The bike is on the money for my goals ....fingers crossed on sorting the brakes. I was just starting to get a bit more aggressive with the bike. The brakes are fine under hard braking...it's the last meter that sucks.
Big cup holder arrives today too.....tank bag a ways out yet.
Hoping to hear today on picking up the bike sans brake fix for the weekend .....with the lowering and the kickstand sorted,
Have a ride invite for tomorrow.
Then will wait for the rotor to come.
Pulled the trigger on a touring screen

Can use my existing deflector on it if needed. With the Wet coming rather have a bit more weather protection and for $53 shipped....little downside. Can be returned. I had some concern with the larger tank bag getting soaked with the stock screen in light showers ( it's not water proof ) and this will reduce that.
The Nelson Rigg rain covers are excellent but rather not have to deploy in light conditions.
My sense now is this may be my long term ride. I suspect the additional lowering will make all the difference to ease of use and maybe let me get onto the forest trails again.

This is Mt Lewis track behind the Julatten Hotel and one I enjoy.

The rotor came in early so bike will be ready this arvo EXCEPT the damn kickstand. :cry:
At least there is a welder at the Airport only a 10 min ride away that will do it for me.
But not today
Sturm und drang comes

Hopefully he is called in for work tomorrow around 10 and I can get it done then.
 
Well if all the stars aligned ....mine sold for full pop and this gal caved on price a bit.

Looks in really good nick, already lowered and with panniers.
Bennets likes it

Older tech tho ....I think the baby GS will suit me fine.
Cup holder arrived and looks good....with it getting to 30 by 10 am hydration really needed.
