Yo dude! I'm looking at buying a 2003 GS like yours and wishing I could go back in time to tag along on the coolest round the world trip that will never be topped. Thanks for inspiring me to get back on the horse again now that my daughter's half grown. I sold my KLR right before she was born, and shelved my dream to go enduro rogue. Long Way Round is the gift that keeps on giving. Train Spotting was cool, but.... taking the GS around the planet was beyond bad ass mate.
