Story is here http://www.lostsummit.net/?q=node/659

GS is no fun. Don't buy! Stay away! Danger!

They're large and big and pretty much indestructible cases I keep dead animals in.

I had a hart attack myself when I discovered this morning the mudstains are still there!

I spent close to 2,5 hours washing and washing and a third time completely washing the bike. The mud's still everywhere!

But I guess that's part of being an thrill seeker...

My Drz is like that all the time, the little gs occasionally.
I have been given the understanding there is almost no off-road riding in Germany.
I hope to find that's not entirely true this spring.

I think there's plenty off road riding possible but probably not as you know it. There is lots of farmland that borders on forest and usually there are many connecting dirt roads between fields bordering these forests. You just need to find them...

A friend of mine spent a few years over there... Took a Ducati, and 2 KTM's... Did lots of riding... He did note that a few farmers with pitchforks gave him dirty looks. He Did bring a wife back that he picked up on a ride in Finland though.. I have a DVD of his riding there that he gave me... I will look and see what it has on it.
