New bike

[zedmeister]

 I was at Pidcock BMW dealer in nottingham on saturday, when a guy pulled in with a GTR 61 plate in blue, he had come to pick up a 13 plate GS in the BWM race colours, anyone on here by any chance??. i was hoping to talk to the guy but he was busy with paperwork etc so did not get the chance to speak to him.

Now then i hear you say, what was Zed doing at a BMW Dealership ????

Thanking your lucky stars you had a GTR? 

It's great all this banter   


Thanks for the comments guys... just spent an hour in the garage adding some Touratech bling to the old girl   

One of the best parts of having a new bike is getting all the farkles on

Up to now.... Touratech foot pegs, Touratech rear brake pedal extender, Stainless oil cooler grille. Expecting by post   :  Touratech Potentiometer protector  ( its a GS thing  )

Machine Art mudsling   ( stops the crap from the back wheel going up your legs)

I reckon you could easily spend 10k on bits from the Touratech catalogue  ( if you're minted or just stupid   )

It is fun bolting stuff on though   

Copston Magna this afternoon

I also think they are very nice, a sort of rugged beauty, still not sure if I can get past the Ewan and Charlie wannabe image though!

Looks wrong without the panniers, please clothe Adolf appropriately.

Not ready to change the GTR yet and can't justify another bike(yet)

I think Ewan and Charlie wannabes is spot on...

A number of years ago at the height of the erwan/charley craze [ 2005 I think] Me and two others did the National Rally. We all had 'adventure' bikes, Vstrom,Varadero and I think a Tiger. All we carried was a tank bag each and some waterproofs strapped to our carriers. I lost count of the number of GS's with full metal luggage, all for one overnight ride!

Know Mark already .... this new bike has one of his front engine protectors on it   

I think Ewan and Charlie wannabes is spot on... 

Proud to say that I pre-date the pair of them as far as a GS is concerned   

The Yellow one is my Gs at Zagan sidings   ( Stalag Luft 3) Poland May  2004  ) 



This is earlier on the trip   Berlin BMW factory ... so maybe Ewan and Charlie are Bryn Wannabees

[Bryn]

Perhaps we need a 'GS' section on here ....
