i have always really liked the dakars..........but the gs1200 is a pretty cool machine as well.

on a small tangent, just finished watching "long Way Down". not as good as "Long Way Round" IMO, but still fun....
If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...

Love ADV!!!  If I didn't have to sell my soul to afford a GS, there'd already be one in my garage.  I drool over the ride reports there, truly amazing trips!

Love ADV, hadn't been on in awhile, was just transfixed for what seemed at least 1/2 hour...  could not stop watching that slide show.

Thanks!  [thumbsup]

As a self-appointed ADV-DMF ambassador, (being one of the few (only?) ducati-off-road riding ADVriders crossovers who frequents both boards), I just wanted to say thanks for recognizing the ADVrider forum for how awesome it is (as is this one).  It is a great community with an abundance of generosity, humor, and camraderie, with people who are linked together simply by a passion for motorcycles (not just BMW's), a spirit of adventure and most importantly, a love of bacon.  [bacon]

One of the forums I check every day or two. I rarely post, but there are some awesome pics of all sorts of bikes.

I was thinking "Damn, these guys are hard core!!"   :o :o

It's actually a hook for the dry cleaning.  ;D
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.
