Saying goodbye to my 1100... and hello to something else

Been a lurker on the forum and I'm sad to say, I'll be selling this GRiSO 1100 which I've owned for over two years and rode with me from LA to Chicago when I moved here:

Which isn't to say goodbye though. Her part will be played from now on by this big sister:

The 1100 will be going to a good friend back in CA. Inducting another member into the GRiSO family soon!

Welcome Eric,

That was the most sensible upgrade you've done there.

Nice bikes, both of them. It's a good feeling when you pass a bike along to someone you know will appreciate it

Very cool! I recognize the Givi windscreen, but what is that low slung slip-on can, a GPR?

Yeah, yeah, but I took my 1100 to the fucking Moon and back and I'm stickin' with'er (see other thread re: "What did you do with your GRiSO today? page 16" So there!

I believe that's a Mistral. I will likely swap it for the Agostini that I mounted on the 1100.

Eric i've been looking at your blog and it's very well done.

Yes, great blog. It's clear that your photography is from a motorcyclist's perspective and I'm really enjoying it.

I don't suppose you recall which model of Rizoma bars you had on the red bike? Do you know if they were the 30mm rise version? There is also 15mm rise which I've read don't have enough tank clearance and then there is a 50mm version.

Eric,

You've got some beautiful pictures on your blog. I lived in Fairbanks for two years and those photos bring back some nice memories. And yes, Fairbanks has some surprisingly great Thai food. Who would've thought!!

Cheers,
Akshay

I found the exact model in my old emails: Rizoma MA008 - Conical - High Bend (MA008)

Cool, thanks. That's the 50mm version.
