    Hi everyone, my name is Dave and I've been riding bikes now for 30years and last November I bought my first ever brand new bike, ducati multistrada 1200s and I've had all sorts of issues with it so next week I'm trading it in for my second new bike which is a speed triple rs and i cant wait, tested the demonstrator twice and didnt want to take it back. Looking at optional extras and thinking of the quickshifter and heated grips, anyone have these and are they worth having?
    Also looking for a satnav mount for the bars if anyone can recommend one and the best place for panders and frame or other ideas for luggage incase I want to travel again. Thanks

    Quick shifter comes standard in the USA, love it, so much fun using. I would definitely get it. Did order the heated grips, but on back order here.

    Hi Dave. Welcome. I’ve had the quick shifter and heated grips fitted and they are great. Definitely recommended. As for a sat nav Mount, I currently use an ultimate addon Mount for my phone. This works really well.

    Welcome to the family here in the asylum. I am biased but a good choice of bike to go for. Do show us the inmates the steed when it arrives. Keeps us quite while nursey dishes out our meds.
    Happy New Year
    Joe.

    Welcome Dave. Just a bunch of old gearheads hanging out on this site. I've been a gearhead so long you would have to send me to "Jiffy-Lube" if I needed a transfusion ! ;) ...J.D.

    Now that you mentioned it, looks like one of those old threads that got resurrected. Oh well. ...J.D.
