So what did you pick

Yeah the Bonneviles are nice, the dealer I went to buy my Tiger had the Steve Mcqueen edition which is very cool

think I've shown this on the chat the little gems we have in the storage of our company BSA's, Norton and a couple of triumphs including this one:

Lol, I had to visit the Triumph/BMW dealer to take my friend's BMW K1200LT in. It has some unknown ailment that is keeping it from getting spark.I started working on it myself, but quit in disgust. That think has a wiring loom as think as my arm--way too complicated (not to mention heavy!). So, to heck with it, let the dealer figure out what's wrong with it.

Nice Triumphs there. But I'm sticking with Suzuki.

Well had my first close up look at a BMW 1200GS we just got for the Rental....
looking at the controls and buttons I was like ''What the....''
The indicators buttons are on both sides? (obviously the one on the right does the right and visa versa) but what's wrong with just a single button on the left BMW! where you can do left&right and switch them off.... then there's buttons I don't have a fudge idea of what they do nor the things that bleep and blop on the display like a triangle with an exclamation mark and exclamation mark incide a circle like this (!).
Most bike are self explanatory as you can figure it out on your own without having to read the manual...but with the GS .... where's the fricking book!

Man, you're still ugly.

isn't it difficult to switch gears with wooden shoes?

OK, enough pleasantries, I'm actually considering to go for a bike licence myself this summer. Depends on whether my work contract gets prolonged. Right now I think the chance is 50/50....

Herr-Berbunch · 02-10-13, 03:02 PM

I'd definitely recommend it

Best fun you can have with your clothes on.

Jimbuna · 02-10-13, 03:08 PM

Is the guy behind you your father or was he taking the photo Wim?
