Any Bikers Out There?

Not sure. When I had my GS here in 2006-2008 there were not that many. You'd see a 1200GS every once in a while. There were more 650GS' around. Now, I see more 1200 Adventure's than ever and the F800GS is pretty popular. Often, the 1200 is just too big. It wasn't easy to maneuver in the city. If I were to get another bike I'd get the F800GS.

The only time I get nostalgic is when I see a couple of BMW's pass through the city, dirty and loaded with gear.
You'll like this then GS:

Nice article.
My enhancements tend to be more Heath Robinson, but I have added a sheepskin seat cover to combat 'monkey-butt'.
 
Hey, bike crew B)

I'm currently riding around the Americas on a BMW F800GS. Hanging out in BsA for a while. I'm up for a group ride if there's any good places to check out.

I hear you, every time back home go visit the monkey mountains of Kyushu island, when seeing the painfully red arses on them, it makes me wander~itchy ! Yeay, the sheep skin butt cushion can be handy..
 
Moto Mikey, sounds like a great idea!
Bike looks great by the way.
I'll come up with a plan :)
 
It appears that in some areas of BA, it's now illegal to carry a pillion passenger on a motorbike.
Ergo:anyone with a passenger on a bike is deemed to be a criminal.
Potentially.
And so is my cat!
