When I first read the above article I didn't miss the fact that it was simply attributed to the Associated Press. What I DID miss was who got the credit for the photo at the top (and the article's subsequent author) - Glenn Adams. Glenn is the AP reporter for the State House here and fellow BMW rider and Airhead (I think it's an old early/mid-70's /5) who lives just a few miles from me.
When we see each other in the halls here, we always talk BMW motorcycles. Today as we discussed the riding weather this week, he asked me if I'd ever ridden an R1200GS to which I replied "Have you SEEN how tall I am?" Then he proceeded to tell me of a trip he and his wife and a cousin (who opted for the 2400cc Triumph Rocket III) took to ride in southern Florida. As he recounted renting the GS at Eagle Rider and riding to Key West, then back and over to Naples and Alligator Alley, I started to put two and two together and the light came on. He said he'd do it over again in a minute and the experience he had through Eagle Rider was top notch.
