New bike added to the stable
I picked up a new bike over the weekend, a BWM K1200GT. A couple of people have expressed an interested in this bike before so I though I would share a photo of the new ride!

Kinda like you bought two of the same bike, huh? Fitted fairing and all . But I do have an eye for the Beamers.

I like my road glide Rock, but I can assure you there are vastly different capabilities between the two.
I am having a blast riding it, lots of fun in the corners and the accelearation when you twist the throttle on this thing is amazing.
Haven't decided which I am going to ride down to KC just yet....

Nice. You probably have more storage in the Glide though. If you ride the beamer down be prepared for the

Thanks for the compliment.
I really like it so far. Took a bit at first to get used to since the riding position is different than my Road Glide, but I got over that pretty quickly and have to say it delivers a really nice ride.
Lots of power, great handling. A really fun bike.
I am looking forward to putting more miles on it!

You mean I wasn't going to be razzed about the Road Glide  , well hell, I will just ride that instead! 
Actually I have more storage on the beamer, got a topcase, (tourpack in harley speak), that wasn't in the picture I took. I don't have a tourpack for the road glide so I have a carry the extra gear in a waterproof bag.
Since I am sure to get razzed in either case, it may just come down to the flip of a coin.

Beautiful bike. You're a lucky man. Be interesting to see what you think after you've put a few miles on it.

It is under serious consideration. Right now, there is a 50/50 chance of that!

Man that is suh-weet! I wish I could have aquired the 07' GT to add to the stable. But, truth in fundage and reality after really working the numbers, says it's gonna be another couple years before I get one. Although I did get a new CBR to satisfy my cravings for corner carving until I can swing that GT. 
Enjoy that new Beemer! Im jealous.
