riding in circles
Hi All,
New BMW owner and new MOA member. I've just moved from a 2017 V-Strom 650 to a 2017 F800GS. Low miles and hopefully in good shape! I've been riding for quite a few years, but I'm a leisurely rider generally. I love to take trips on the bike and I'm really hoping 2021 lets us get out and about more.
I'm 62, quit work last year, and I can't imagine how I ever had the time to work. Even as my own boss. Vote left, dress right, play bass, play flight sims, drink wine, and I like to cook and travel.
I would be very happy to meet other riders, and learn from them about this new machine; BMW seems to be it's own language and I've got a lot to learn. The bike has Touratech engine bars, an SW Motec skid plate, and Vario bags. I like them but I'll have to see what I can do to mount soft bags as well. The seat is the factory low seat, and I can tell that my butt will be giving some instructions on improving that in short order.
Here's a pic of me and the bike, but I'm sure I look much younger than the dummy in the photo.
Cheers.
