Well the deed is done....

...Last Saturday I moved closer to the dark side and took delivery of a 2005 BMW R1200GS.... a very clean machine indeed.... with only 11,500 on the clock...



The initial thoughts on the bike are that it looks good and is very easy to ride and I had forgotten what it feels like the travel at speed  ---- BUT it isn't the GS Adventure and looks a bit in the "too clean" side for me  ....  time will tell.  The plan is at present to take the BMW on the next trip (Croatia in May) unless of course I find a GS Adv in the mean time -  !!!!!!

Plans for the trip are still a work-in-progress and am just looking at the shake-down trip in April....   Packing my stuff on the BMW will be interesting !!   Bye for now

PS Mr Mugabe (Honda Africa Twin) still being used.... still love it... shhhhhhhhhh don't tell 'er in doors
