The Dakotas

I need to get some new pics!

2 pictures from my Norway trip

Here is a photo of my new 2008 GTS.

I've installed many mods; previously discussed and posted.

I regret that I've not yet got a photo with a scenic background.

Been posted before but once more...my DR GTS...

Here's Beatrice on the road in Hunter, TX.

My one mod is a cafe racer seat from Pirate Upholstery. The second mod will be the addition of a flyscreen. It's in a box on the floor in front of me. Now I just need a push to get outside and get started.

recently got black seat, still looking for a black topcase pad. anybody know about how much those run if i were to go to a dealer? and soon hope to be getting my rims powder coated black and maybe a couple more small things.

I love my gts..

.......
what is that i can see on a few of these pictures ? is it a can of spare fuel ?
i wont be carrying that on my scooter... mart

Hi mart.
This is a 5 Liter Spare can.
I need it several times in North Norway and closed to the russian border.
There was no Gasstation.

GTdespatchcourier,

Your pic makes me think you went dumpster diving and found a treasure..

Here's mine - just did the bar end mirrors, switched out the GTS seat for a GT seat - Popped off my GIVI top case for a few shots. I agree, I like the look better without the top case but need the extra space.

I like the bar end mirrors!

that is pretty different. I have to get my rims powder coated black. is that what you did to them??

and i just noticed your side crash bars were black as well. NICE!

NICE!! Thanks for the bar ends Nyle - they worked out great - and don't look so bad either!

By the way, check out these shots for the close ups of the bar ends with the CRG mirrors. I LIKE, ITS NICE - Jaqui!

Yeah, no chrome left at all - bar ends, wheels, crash bars, break levers, passenger foot rests - all powder coated. Lights blacked out etc. etc. My ET4 is all chromed up, I wanted something more cage fighter style for this bike.

Don't forget the front center cap, and maybe the front shock spring! Even the sidecase would look hot in Black!
Here is a GT I just finished doing with black rims with a chrome brembo brake set up!

There are black backrests for $85+shipping on ebay from a vespa dealer somewhere in the US.

im looking for the black crackle looking finish top case pad, that matches the gts seat. not the smooth finish. thanks though!

Love the red rim around the tire - its on the tire right? What kind of tires are those?

it's vinyl on the rim.....

A nice range of GTS's

Hehe ....something like that...
I did with my wife 10 days round the island of Crete...900km total..only

Nice one, just got back from Crete the other week.. Just before the XL airline went bust....thank the lord....Must be hard over there keeping the scoot clean, heat, sun, dust..etc..all the best mate, Martyn

Here's a couple pictures of mine. Just got it a week ago, and I've been riding too much to stop and take a really good pic. These are just real quick "sittin in front of the garage" pics. No mods, but I did stop riding long enough to pull the warning stickers off.

now, it is time to remove the reflectors. alot of us mvers have.

I love your windscreen - what kind is it? Medium height?

Salima's GTS in Utah


My "first" GTS, paying tribute to a respectable elder


The same, before...


... and after the repaint


Not mine, but that's where I saw the paint.


Leaning towards fun


Flying high


Chasing a tag, with 2007GTS


All of this riding comes at a price, though ... (the price of fun miles and an empty tank)

i Think it nice :d
