Hi everybody,


My name is Philippe Gaymard, and I live in the south west of France, in Pau, near the Pyrenees.
I just acquired a Black 790 Duke. Before this bike, I owned a Yamaha SR500, a Suzuki DR650 a BMW R1200RT and a BMW R1200RTLC. I used to travel quite a lot across the France, and Spain, but I have decided to reduce this travelling, and this is why I changed to a smaller and more fun bike. I am still running in, and I will be pleased to exchange experiences with some of you.
Because I use my bike everyday for almost everything, I installed a KTM top case, so that I can carry stuff around (My camera's because I do a lot of analog photography, my puchases on the market, etc...).
What a change to have a bike that is about 90 Kgs lighter, with about the same power!


Best regards to all


Philippe

Thanks Kelevra!


Indeed Donostia or San Sebastian is not far from where I live.
I will definitely post some pics of Pyrenees!

Glad to have you Philippe! Congrats on the new machine. It is a world of difference with the weight and I love it so far. Feel free to post up some of those pics you take!
