Just got it..winter is taking way too long to end!
hoping to get to the fest...if the wife lets me!
Thats the worst part of about getting a bike in the winter, the long wait for spring. Congrats on the new bike! I have been loving my beemer since I got it 2 years ago... or is it 3? Either way I have not grown bored of it nor felt any need to get anything different.
41 days, 20 hours, 13 mins, 25 second till riding season! - (based on averages of my previous years of riding, results may very depending on climate)

SunnY S, thank you for starting this thread. I love seeing the BMWs.....lots on ADVrider but not enough here!
That's the bike I've been considering until I found out about the G650GS (previously F650GS). Man, I love your bike. Did you try out other bikes before buying the F650GS...if so, how did it compared?
Leave it to a BMW owner to break it down like that.

I have a count down widget on my macbook pro, do it every year when I put the bike away. 41 days seems like nothing compared to when I started in December.Leave it to a BMW owner to break it down like that.
41 days, 18 hours, 23 mins, 30 seconds left!
Oh, another BMW owner here. I don't have any pictures of my bike with me. It is the silver, blue, black scheme as mentioned below.

Cool, does it have the flashing lites and siren?
Re: The Fest. Never been to it. I've always said I was gonna go, but never did. This year, I gotta do it.
Maybe we could group ride down there.
Me too!

Say, you wouldn't happen to park that thing in an underground condo somewhere, would you?

Thanks, I think it stands out and looks unique.
If I had lots of extra cash lying around........I would do this color scheme......
This is a full race/track bike one of the guys in the other forum uses.

* Auxiliary cooling fan for when engine is kept running when the motorcycle is stationary
* Front and rear protection bars
