Thanks Steve, it was a fantastic trip!

Picture-gallery from the trip. A few here and there are out of order but you'll get the general idea.

Ridin' To Redmond! Who's going and which way are you getting there? I'm leaving the Atlanta area June 7 and will just follow GPS for the quickest route most of the way up, have a little fun in the NW region along the way if time allows. Riding from the rally to Spokane WA where I'm gonna put the bik...

I don't think you'll find it too enormously different to an R1150. Same basic engineering philosophies, just a little more evolved. I've had both generations of the R1200 engine in GSes and both are great, though I like the 2010-on version better for its slightly higher performance. Maintenance is e...

I hope it brings joy to the next owner. My GS originally belonged to a guy who took super-good care of it but didn't ride it much. I think his wife told him to make room in the garage, can't recall exactly, but he realised that there wasn't much point keeping it and I've been really happy with it ev...
