Great Photos Voni and Paul! I rode Julie's new 310GS home from Iowa City yesterday, 130 miles, as Julie still has a boot on one foot from bunion surgery but she can drive; we had taken her trade in to Iowa City December 16th. Temp was in the 40s. Tried to vary the speed coming home and did stop at 90 miles for gas. I don't know if it was completely full as it had a hundred miles on the tank and I put 2 gallons in. It rode very nice and had plenty of power; I think I hit 76 or 77 mph a couple times (speed limit 65 mph). The little windshield works well and I doubt Julie will put one on it; I did put one on my G310R. Compared to my 310GR it feels like a lot bigger bike. The shifter is tilted more forward and took some getting used to. I have 3900 miles on my 310GR and am averaging 61.8 mpg but I may ride faster than most people. Today we put an oiler on the GS (Tutoro) and some handguards and heated grip wraps (Oxford) and tire pressure monitors (tireguard). Julie hasn't ridden since Dec. 16th and even with our Winters that is the longest she has ever gone without riding since we started riding in 1985. After 4 years without BMWs we are happy to be back and are anxious to take some trips on these. She is hoping someone makes some adventure type cases for it. Oh, yesterday the roads were wet and salty coming home so her bike got filthy but she said it is a GS so that is o.k. We did try to wash it off.
