Im in love!!!!!

Well, actually got to ride my new SD in some sort of anger at week end and suddenly everything made sense.... what a superb handling, confidence inspiring, nimble machine it is!

Cant wait for hot tarmac, it changes direction like a bloody bmx!!!!!

Had a few starter noises last week that seems to have gone too which is a bonus!!! ( maybe i had the throttle slightly open? )

I want to do few rallys this year, reckon by oxford panniers will get fried, can any one offer luggage carrying advice?

Glad you're enjoying the bike but wait until you get it out on a good summer day!!!
On the luggage front;
depending on the amount then there's the KTM tankbag
have tried a rucksack....sore shoulders after a while
tailpack....pain in the arse as it pushes up against you and becomes distracting
Ventura will be the way to go if you don't mind bolting things onto the bike and should be secure at speed.
