I've sunken to new depths in to the oblivion which is   :traitor:
Not only have I bought a BMW , it's also got a beak ...  :groan:.
Feel free to abuse as necessary.  :violence-smack:

My GTR has gone and my Honda will soon be sold ..

Here it is .. BMW F800gs Adventure , its a little to tall for me but that will be sorted within a week or so. This bike is like a blank canvas and it will be given many trinkets over the next few months ..  :eusa-doh:

I know ... I must need my head read ..  :dl_smiley_banghead:.

Always fancied one of these so after a bit of research and chatting to a well known BMW specialists I took the plunge, it's a basic model with minimal electronics (less to go wrong) and a huge 6 Gallan petrol tank,  We shall see . :eusa-doh:

At least you'll have plenty of fuel to use as barter to get a tow to the nearest Starbucks. :thumb:

Subtle picture with the "traitors corner" sticker in the rear window of the Audi.

Enjoy. :thumb:

The beak is staying because if when it breaks down it's more aerodynamic to push ..  :icon_wink:

Nice picnic shelf. Somewhere for your sarnies & flask while you wait for the RAC.

It's a big shelf. Could probably even fit a pork pie on there, if you were lucky enough to be able to buy one.
