Jay rode up on a nice Triumph triple adventure bike. Wanted to test ride a new GS.
The Guys at the dealer did'nt mess around, they had that GS out the door pronto for Jay to ride.

Pre ride info.

That does this and this does that. Got it.

Well Jay, how was the ride? The Triumph is a great ride and the Beemer is even better. Wow. I'm trading in the Triumph and getting the GS. WOW! That was fast!

That's how you do it. Sign on the dotted line.

Congratulations Jay. That is exactly why I don't test ride BMW's.

Got to looking at the names on the plaque. That name Deb Lower looks familiar for some reason.

^^ Nice find Barry.

I had a '72 and a '73 back in the day. Those 2002's were a blast!

Met a good guy inside at his desk, Steve Cole.

John Stoddart- GM
I was asking John about his background in BMW. John gave me his background. It went all the way back to the early 70's and Butler and Smith. He's done it all. I was impressed.

R9T-Up side down fork and stand alone headlite bucket have the cool factor.

RR Enhanced




I think I'm right on that. Gotta pay more attention and take better notes. I think it's got upgraded grips, pinstriped wheels and exhaust. Go fast guys will know the deal. I'm only fast in my dreams.

If your tired of your bike sounding like a sewing machine, Igor makes a nice looking muffler. Can't vouch for the decibels or the sound.
