Ugly place the intarweb. Somebody has taken a photo of me in a rather compromising situation and posted it on the net.

It's not often I'm caught like this - but before you see this shocking image from someone else......I'm not happy, but.....sigh.....moment of weakness....curiosity got the better of me.....

[James Deuce]

Suits you sir.

SAY IT - Only machines.

This epiphany came to me when my soul brother Rusty uttered from deep within the Thunderbird's busted gearbox:
'Look Davey boy, They are only bloody machines - If they break you fix 'em - simple. Then you flog 'em till they break again. Got it!?' - Howard, R. (Yamaha 250 World Cup Champion 1988 and tuner to the stars)

Awwwwwwww BIG Dave.... you do look so CUTE on that m/bike....

So where is the test report on the bike?

[Lou Girardin]

Funny how people start to resemble their bikes.

[Pwalo]

Jeez you are a big bastard. I'm not sure if I could even get both feet on the ground on that thing. Not too sure if that's the right gear for the Paris-Dakar though mate.

I did sing '2 world wars and one world cup - doo dah, doo dah' a few times.

The short version do?
Nice bike - but unless you want to spend significantly more time off road than on - for the money - buy a Triumph Tiger.

[Hitcher]

buy a Triumph Tiger
But I guess BMW is easier to spell...

[Big Dave]

But I guess BMW is easier to spell...

Only the acronym.

Actually - I joined the AAA some time ago. (Australians Against Acronyms)

[James Deuce]

Nothing wrong with a correctly placed TLA. IMO.

[T.I.E]

or you just getting in touch with the rider inside of you?

[zadok]

I like Beemers, but that one is an ugly duckling! :motu: :rofl:

[Posh Tourer :P]

They all look like that... :p everyone raves about them over here though. Sells very well - as in top3....

I dont think that is as ugly as the R1200ST.....

[myvice]

My advice is give yerself seven uppercuts and give it back.
You know what sort of twisted individuals ride GS's, so ask yerself "do I wanna be like the Editor"...I think you know the answer.

Jeysus --I sure would Hate to meet Big Dave on a dark night.
My first thought was Yea so what,Its a guy on a trail bike.
Then It sank in He's on one of those need a ladder to climb on PD BMW's

[Big Dave]

Jeysus --I sure would Hate to meet Big Dave on a dark night.

Mostly harmless.

1923 Douglas barnett - were you a two wheels reader? - That was a long running gag with them.

[HDTboy]

Saw one of them at head office last week, they're not the prettiest bikes around, that's for sure. The K1200R's a nice piece of kit though, love to take one for a ride, need to get my full before they'll let me though

I agree - Mackay and Eisdale have been working through testing the BMW range. For me 30 large and over is the worry with them. That's why i favour the Tigger. You could buy a new one - power commander, race can, spare set of motard wheels, luggage and it's still a few grand cheaper than the BM.
The BM is superior off road - a horned up tiger would smoke it on the tarmac. Priorities and budget.
