Post a picture of your Oilhead

And no respect for the venerable GS's out there . . .

Brunhilda, the lusty busty German wench is finally getting broken in, turning 70K on that last trip. Bought her several years ago with only 20K miles, but she's got to share riding time with all the other bikes-including that fab black R1100S!
 
Nice! I like black (why would that be? proud-daddy-syndrome...). This reminds me that I should still mount my hand guards. Are those the R1100GS ones?

Jacco

EDIT: Why the last ride for the season? You have the screen and the handguards?!? See www.yearroundriders.com (any excuse to squeeze in some ads... :))

Bear mountain is a georgous ride. Did you ride 7 lakes drive and go up Perkins drive to the top of the mountain. Great views of the Hudson River. After wards go over the Bear Mtn bridge make a left on 9w go to Cold Spring . At the bottom of the hill is an old train station, now a restaurant (mostly outdoor seating), and the commuter trains wiz by. After go over the rr tracks to the gazebo on the Hudson across the river to the left you'll see West Point. Great ride about 250 round trip miles for me . Living near Sandy Hook N.J.
 
Sorry, downloaded from iPhone and couldn't figure out how to turn pics��

Is it the original stock suspension? If so, you'll find even more to love with some aftermarket shocks.....

Have fun...Not every rider is comfortable with making a daily statement of style and good taste.
 
I traded two unwanted firearms for this bike. 88k miles, serviced meticulously from date of purchase at Seattle Ride West BMW until 66k until 2005, then falls off the face of the earth as far as service records. Engine seems very smooth and powerful, transmission I think has the 2-3 gear twitch��.

I really like the suspension and how the bike is confidence inspiring in how it handles. I know the bikes don't go for much, but with engine longevity and how it rides, I think I will either have transmission fixed or replace with an M97 if Ivan find one.

Beautiful bike, and beautiful environs to ride it...doesn't get much better!

Its not an Oilhead, but....

....its what I'm riding now. The 1100S served me well over many years and continues to run as well now as when it was new. And for those who notice these things - its a K1200...S. :laugh

Similar colors to my RS. But, since my RS isn't an Oilhead, it would be inappropriate for me to a post picture on this subforum:nono

However, I must compliment you on your taste in colors

Looking good, even though it has two extra cylinders.:scratch

Enjoy!!! :dance
 
Congratulations BC1100S. You still have an S (and we will continue to work on a cure) and you have a thing for blue...and it looks good.
