To K or not to K?

Geez I love my wife. When I wanted to buy myself a GS as a second bike a few years ago, she just smiled and said great. When it got written off after a deer strike, I just ordered up the new F800GS to replace it, no consultations required. I did the same the other day when I put the deposit on my new K1200GT. When I told her that night about it, she just smiled and offered to get the bank draft ready for me the next day (she's a bank manager). Her only concern was where we were going to put it until the R1100RS is sold, she was worried that her car might have to sit outdoors at night. She's also a two bike owner, so for awhile there are five in the stable.

Its Official..... I own a 2010 Candy Apple Red 1300GT.

I will remember my GS fondly

Cheers

Congrats! Pictures!!!

Congrats on you new purchase! I don't think you will be disappointed. In fact I just traded my '08 RT for '10GT and loving it. Man this bike has the juice...

Guess I'll need a new call-sign

Yeah I'm really excited... unfortunately its still at the dealer getting the finishing touches on software updates and a part on left handle bar stalk needs to be replaced.

Here in the northeast we are only half way through an incredibly annoying winter season that continues to dump copious amounts of snow and ever falling temperatures that freeze your breath into snow crystals with every exhale. It may be another 6 weeks before I can get it down the driveway if they can even get it up here in the first place.

I will take pictures of her in the snow... should look great, my new Candy Apple Red in a fresh fallen snow.

CH2Ous,

Congratulations. You won't be sorry as I've seen that bike in person (in Candy Apple Red) and I know how good it looks. You will soon see how well it rides -- that engine is a beast so have fun but be safe!

Kent, I will most definatly ease into this bike after riding a GS for so long. Looking forward to taking it down to Bloomsburg in July.

Thanks again MAX BMW...

CONGRATULATIONS!
That bike is absolutely beautiful.
You won't regret it...

Thanks Robday.... Its still very icy here in the northeast so I haven't had her out for a romp yet. I can only describe the anticipation as being 6 years old again, waiting at the top of the stairs for the rest of my siblings to emerge from their rooms at 5am to converge on the Christmas tree.

We have a couple of thawing temp days ahead which will hopefully melt a narrow path down my treacherous driveway to the main road. If I can get her down off my edge of the mountain I may not be home for dinner.
