    neck operation

    All going well there is no reason with a modern fusion system that you shouldn't be able to ride by 12 weeks after surgery.  By then your neck will be stable.  More importantly, and what might hold you up, is that I would not recommend riding until you can turn your neck well enough to check...

    Problems with the new LC

    New 1200 LC - Questions and observations

    Congrats on the new bike.  I have had mine for about a week.  I have not experienced any drive train or suspension issues.  I have the same tyres and experience the same high pitch whine - it does seem to be improving as I'm taking the edge off the tread!

    Aerotrim + 1200GS

    6'2" on 1200 GS with adventure screen and winglets.  Used a Shoei hornet and Arai tour X - I was unhappy with buffeting  and peak buzz. Added aerotrim - happy days - buffeting gone.  Pity about the service though!
