Traded in the GTR today for a Beemer.

[bacaruda]

So after 2 years almost to the day and almost 30.000 km I parted from the black thundernugget. He will be missed. but i can assure, I will be back on a Kawasaki big tourer in a couple of years as soon as they decide to make a major rewamp of this superb motorcycle. Meanwhile i will try out how it is to own a german Valkyrie in the form of a 2016 BMW R1200RS. Ordered it today for delivery in march 2016. First spanking new bike in 28 years. Got a fair trade-in price on my GTR, and a good discount on the Beemer as my buddy brought a R1200R at the same time.
I will keep looking into this forum time to time and keep up to date with what your up to. Last summers trip to Littledean and the GTR uk meet gave me some realy nice memories. Thanks all who were there for a unforgetable weekend. Who knows. me and Brunhilde might show up on a GTR-meeting close to you..

We BMW owners need to stick together. It was a pleasure meeting you at The Belfry and perhaps one day our paths will cross again. Please do keep coming on here and let us know how you get on with the new bike. Secretly everyone on here is a closet BMW owner or wants to be and they all eagerly await photos and story's of travels involving the machines from Deutschland.

Behave yourself Steve...and now you can go and sit on the naughty step for a while 

Bacaruda, there are conditions which you must observe...let us know how you are getting on with Brunhilde, and we need some pictures please. 

Finally you do not need to leave this forum and as far as I'm concerned you will always be welcome back

totally and look forward to your input and banter on a regular basis .  Especially as you in a moment of alcohol induced generosity invited us all at the Belfry to visit you on mass 

The bike we ride may change but the friendship stays forever

The invitation stands! GTR-riders are allways welcome if they are foolish enough to come to our cold and deserted part of the planet. I will come back to the good side of the force for sure, just have to try out the dark side (wich is lacking a bit on the RS compare to a GTR, 125 hp...  ) I will keep you posted as soon as she arrives to me, planned to w14 is the last information from BMW.
