TEWKS Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Go look at new BMW Motorcycles? Duh! Max in North Hampton NH has a few nineteens including this GSA. Pat Link to comment

TEWKS Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 Tim, the is coming it just takes a bit sometimes. Rich, see what you made me do! Pat Link to comment
Marty Hill Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Gold wheels and rear shock. I'm so impressed. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 Marty, they're reaching for the youngins I think but at twenty five-plus grand, I don't know how many will bite. Pat Link to comment
powwow Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I never trust myself to visit the BMW dealership... or any motorcycle dealership for that matter! I'm easily distracted by shiny things. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 I know, I got all googly eyed and weak in the knees but was able to pull myself out of there. Pat Link to comment
TEWKS Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 I didn't leave there undamaged though. On the way home in my truck my mind told me over & over again to take her for a test ride. So I did. (in said warped mind) I blasted north and climbed to the summit of Mt. Washington (it was now summertime) and there, she looked good in the wild. THE END. Pat Link to comment
tallman Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 You said "test ride" not "demo". Link to comment
Flbandit Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Looks nice. I had a chance to look at the new RT the other day as well. Too bad I don't have $25000.00 laying around. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 I know, that 25K is one heck of an elusive creature. Pat Link to comment
OoPEZoO Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I raked the leaves......and twisted an ankle. Should have went to look at bikes instead Link to comment

TEWKS Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 That new GS looks nice! Trying my darnedest not to believe that! Pat Link to comment
Oldironken Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I raked the leaves......and twisted an ankle. Should have went to look at bikes instead Don't rake leaves add a Cyclone Rake to your power tool arsenal. Save your ankles for the Oil dance Link to comment
TEWKS Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) Well, the leaves still sit on the lawn and Max had an open house today, but the best I could muster was a web search. What a loser! It's not a triple black but, it doesn't have gold wheels either. Mo pics! https://www.maxbmw.com/--xInventoryDetail?id=6350292#/ Pat Edited December 9, 2018 by TEWKS Link to comment
TEWKS Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) One of the ADV guys posted this picture below. His local dealer did a tire swap on the adventure models they had and in my mind, it seems to work a little better. No worries Marty, I still don't want gold wheels! Edit Dang...looks like a login is required. https://advrider.com/f/attachments/b95956f5-7695-42f1-b2a6-4e2df239fa60-jpeg.1453365/ Pat Edited December 9, 2018 by TEWKS Link to comment
Marty Hill Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 If you buy the gold wheels, I'll sneak into your garage and paint them a proper black. Remember, I know where you live. Link to comment

I've been on guard with the silver oil cooler air scoop on my triple black GS. I remember you were eyeing that black! Pat Link to comment
greiffster Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 If you buy the gold wheels, I'll sneak into your garage and paint them a proper black. Remember, I know where you live. go ahead and paint the goofy white hand guards as well. Link to comment

TEWKS Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 The turd choice. Black bags look nice. Pat Link to comment
TEWKS Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) Anybody ever clear coat over a flat finish such as on this bike. Would it look like normal paint or would it be funked up looking? I'm actually beginning to accept this color. https://s28.photobucket.com/user/pnpjr333/media/image.jpg1_zpsee9a11cf.jpg.html Pat Edited December 24, 2018 by TEWKS Link to comment
TEWKS Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Ok, I made a deal. (No not the deal) I was able to negotiate one with my 9 y/o daughter. She wants to go buy a new horse riding helmet at Dover Saddlery (Terry can explain ðŸŽ) and I, want to go look at the "Kalamata" brown gold green? GSA exclusive up at Max's. The contract has been signed & handshake taken care of ( with Kiley ) so hopefully I'll have a picture or two later today. Pat Link to comment

Bud Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Just for grins, I can't read the total on the Kalamata" brown gold green? dontknow GSA exclusive up at Max's. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 I can't read the total on the Kalamata" brown gold green? dontknow GSA exclusive up at Max's. Bud, I believe it was $24,390 but that was from their web page, we didn't really talk numbers yesterday. Funny thing, they had 2018s with a higher MSRP before incentives of course. Lots of moolah!

Bud Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 In 2028 it wont't cost so much. Most likely find a low mileage on that sat in a garage most of it's life. Link to comment

Â Yeah, but by that time, the 2029 R1350GSA (FusionHead) will be hitting the showroom floors.....You see the problem? Link to comment

It may be earlier than 29, word is prototypes are in the works! Now if we could just figure out how to slow the aging process, we could ride these things for almost ever! Pat Link to comment
