And it has the typical BMW seat.

Thanks for the comment. At least on a San Marino blue RT the "nose" does look much better color matched; do not know about other models. I had the dealer remove the nose, take it to the painter, and reinstall it. I think it was about $300, but I am not sure. I had top case lids painted, no dealer needed to be involved, and that cost $100 each.

I am glad you liked Arizona. I cannot say I do. I loved Wisconsin, but after 60 years or so there I was driven out by cold, snow, and road salt.

Did you have the dealer pull the nose due to a degree of difficulty, as you may have seen I have the blue also. It really does set it off well. Key word is LIKED on Arizona, I grew to hate it, I love it here in Missouri, great riding roads, no traffic. Apart from winter it's like a riders heaven. Arkansas is close and they have some great rides but a lot of their roads need a lot of TLC. Used to ride regularly from Tempe or AJ to Tucson to visit the Bashful Bandit. Crazy place. COurse that was my youth.

Beautiful day in the Sandia mountains a couple days ago. Glad I went as snow expected tonight.

New to Me 2014 R1200GS Adventure

New to the Forum and showing off my prize. This is my 3rd BMW. Previous were the 1967 R50/2 and a 1978 R90/6



I grabbed this jewel a few weeks ago in Santa Maria, CA. I live in Goleta, next to Santa Barbara. It is a 2014 R1200GSA with 11,700 miles, in minty condition. It's fully loaded with all of the options. I parted with my venerable and much trusted 2005 V Strom at 100,000 miles (sad) and took off with the GSA. I got a very good deal on it. Actually I couldn't afford not to buy it. My wife recommended that I buy it!

It has taken some getting used to. I'm tall and the bike does not fit me very well. I did a ride in at Bill Mayer saddles and had the painful seat customized. I live close to their location. Now I need to lower the pegs and an increase the angle of the windshield. The stock windshield shoots the air directly into my throat. I've added an adjustable deflector, it helps allot. Once I get this thing to fit me, all will be good. I also had to remove the pillion seat. It crowds me, I need to position my butt farther back than the pillion will allow. I need a cover for that space with a plate. And I need good lowering pegs. My leg position is cramped. Any ideas are welcome.

Welcome to the forum strat.
It's not often you hear someone say they're too tall for a GSA

New to me 2016

Hard to believe a bike this nice had only 3800 miles on it after 3 years, but that is now my good fortune. I have owned every generation of the RT except the R1100. Upgraded the 2010 (great bike, crossed the country twice) to this. Added EZCan, driving lights, and Givi top case lights. So far so good...

That is high mileage because the car I was looking at was 3 years and 1 month old and it had 98 miles on it. Go figure! I snapped it up.

Picked up in Gilbert AZ, trailered home with 7800 miles.
Now 1 year later showing just over 20K
