Jane's New Bike!

[pawtracks]

Awesome post, nice bike.

Congrats Jane.

and don't believe Skooter when he says:

"Ahhhh that front tire has at least another 20,000 miles left in her"

Fabulous story, great photos. She does, indeed, have that new bike glow! Have a great time riding together. If my garage would fit it and my wallet would afford it, there'd be a new GS next to the FJR (for me, not the wife!).

Ach du lieber! It brings a tear to the eye of this 40 year BMW fanatic, es geht mir gut. I just notified Dieter in Munchen und Klaus in Berlin about this splendid event. There is great rejoicing in der Vaterland, mein Schatzie. Deutschland Uber Alles!!!

"Jane & Greg have finally drank the BMW Kool-Aid! Actually, I've been slipping the wonderful BMW Kool-Aid in SkooterG's beverages ever since November 2004; when he rode to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with Chuck Doucet, Ed Quarles and I!

Achtung AZ Beemers Treasurer Dave Kidder: I've mailed you a check in amount of $36 to cover 1st years dues for them!

Hey Don,

Would you post a link to this on the AZBeemers forum? Got to join there soon so we can post. Jane thinks she wants GSJane as a forum name.

Hope you enjoy my BMW slanted write-up.

Um..... you need to do something with this young lady's choice of riding boots.... :blink:

This really is a nice machine... it is the only Beemer platform I would be able to tolerate in my stable, pretty sure of that.

She oughta consider a set of SW-Motech Crash bars *prior* to the first drop (which you know is coming, given that seat height). Also probably need to get a decent skid-plate on the engine lowers before a rock holes that exposed oil filter....

Should try the new 800GS

All that cash gets reported to the IRS. What else you selling beside the koolaid.

 

[Malve]

awesome Skooter. Good luck to both you with the new bike. I just got the green light to take my new "friend" on a ride on the FJR this week. Wish me luck. I'm hoping she gets hooked.

 

[Checkswrecks]

Nice set of wheels, opening up a whole catalog of what you can ask Santa for, for Christmas!

DragginJeans would be a great start, then maybe a luggage rack, panniers, different windshield...

Seriously, congrats on a great bike!

Cool story Scoot! I can't wait until I can get my special gal on two wheels! B)

Jane's new bike, a 2009 BMW F650GS, awaiting her on the showroom floor:

Congrats to her! My wife loves her BMW and I'm sure Jane feels the same about hers!

https://www.hepco-becker.de/ Greg, go with the Hepco und Becker crash bars; a long time GS owners crash bars of choice.

https://f800depot.com Go with the Givi skid plate. Brian "El Jefe" Boles and I have tested both these GS products in Mexico.

Nice bike Jane! :thumbsup: I 'm jealous. :jealoussmiley:

Congats!! :yahoo:

Very cool bike. Now you need to find her the t-shirt that says:

"I never knew BMW made cars until I passed one." (with picture of BMW bike passing BMW car)

Frankly, I thought the t-shirt was just a joke, but they really DO make cars...Who knew?

 

[HotRodZilla]

Those bikes are SWEET. I didn't know they came in red. I'm gonna get one 'for my wife' real soon. Congrats.
