Title: Just in time for Winter
Post by: triangleforge on October 01, 2011, 03:03:16 PM
This probably isn't a new thing, but the first time I'd ever seen it...

BMW 1150GS with a sidecar... and a winch.  [thumbsup]

It's probably four or five bikes down the "I'd like to have" list, but sure looks like a fun way to play with a sidecar.

Will it be able to free a semi like the Subies can?

That is some clean looking equipment!  I wonder if it would pull out my 4X4?

Why the winch?  Plow maybe?

It's so you can actually go to the places they show the GS in BMW's adverts. Or rather, so you can get out of them.  ;D

And forgetting the winch for the moment, the best thing about this arrangement is that it'd be like driving a Ural that can keep up on the highway.
