Congrats.

Maybe winter will end in the next few months and you can go for a ride.  :lol:



We haven't had any winter here in SoCal for the last couple of years.  It was in the low 80s here over the weekend.
Then you're ripped right out of the ground like a fucking root.  No, you simply cannot hide from the ugly truth.

Gorgeous!!!  Congrats!  :beerchug: :inlove: Can't wait to see pics of it out on (or off) the road!
Hockey season starts April 18!  Riding season starts whenever I can get a babysitter.  Any offers?

Not much rain either.  Supposed to rain Wed/Thursday but I'm not holding my breath.
Lo and behold, we ride!

Nice looking GS.  Congrats.  The Anniversary scheme is indeed sharp.

I just noticed the Remus.  I bet that parallel twin has a nice mean raspy sound to it through that can.  Nice.

Looks like standard forks.  Are Telelevers headed into retirement?

Actually the Remus is remarkably mellow.  I was quite surprised to say the least.  It's got a really nice tone to it but nowhere near a raspy nasty like the Arrow Ti Race exhaust on the Monster.

So here's the run down:

2010 F800GS 30th Anniversary Special Edition.

Expedition Skid plate
Touratech (BMW?) crash guards
Factory expandable topcase
"beak"
Hand guards with extensions (more coverage)
BMW Factory tank bag
Remus exhaust…
and the usual standard kit of factory heated grips, ABS, onboard computer. 

Spare farkles of OEM exhaust and a spare saddle (un-faded, I might add!).  Fully serviced at 6,100 miles…

All with only 6,800 miles on the clock.

And a brand new set of Hedi K60's installed. 

I splurged when I got home with it and ordered a set of Wolfman bag mounts (for my wolfman exped saddlebags).  Maybe I'll get lucky and find someone who wants to trade yellow bags for black?  In the end I'll also order some decent lights for it…but that's just not quite on the priority list yet.

Lo and behold, we ride!

Nope not at all... R series bikes and K Series bikes have the tele-lever suspension.  The F- and G- series have traditional forks
