Life Long Kool-Aid drinker takes another sip.......

[SkooterG]

Yes, that's right. Life long blind faithful member Beemerdons has added a new steed to his stable - and it's from the land of kraut. In keeping with Beemdons advanced age and mental retardedness, he got herself a girly-man bike. Take a gander:

Oooops! Actually not that one. That one was parked outside the restaurant where His Old Fartedness bought me my birthday lunch today. We all wondered what the rider of 'that one' would look like. Personally, I think that purty in pink bunny special had 'Warchild' written all over it, but I didn't want to say that in public. Oooops! I just did. :****:

So that one is not Beemerdons bike, THIS one is.............

The brand spankin new 2009 BMW F650GS not looking so girly in this photo.......

And the obligatory photos of the girly-man bike with it's girly-man, old fart curmedgeon, villiage people imitatin owner:

And with his sweetheart of a peach g/f Donna to finally bring some class to these photos.....

LOOK WHERE YOU'RE GOING!!! NOT AT ME!!!

And some piccies of El Pendejo and his new toy with my g/f GSJane and her not too old yet F650GS of a different color........

Drinkers of the Kool-Aid sharing some warped fellowship with a 'High-Five'. The Rev. Jimmy J would be proud!

GSJane looking Too Kewl For Skewl! She loves her fine example of German engineering. The Kool-Aid is strong with this one.

And the Twowheelnut memorial salute..........

CONGRATS Beemerdons on your new kraut krap Girly-Man bike! May you enjoy mucho kilometers of smiles south of the border with your new steed, Salma Hayek.

Jane's bike is much "sexier". And now that it actually runs and she can ride it.......

Let's hope Don's doesn't suffer the same problems. :blink: Oh wait, dere are nein problums mit dese moderzykles, is der riders in Amerika!

 

[HotRodZilla]

Those things are friggin sweet. I'm gonna get my wife one very soon. I like the red one too.

 

[Jagermeister]

Very sweet Kool-Aid!

I'm lusting after one of those myself. Don't tell my wife :glare:

 

[beemerdons]

https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=107221 Jagermeister and HotRodZilla, If you should get an F650GS Twin, whether for yourself or the wife, consider riding the dirt road to Real de Catorce near Zacatecas, Mexico with us 4/17.

We already have two F650GS Twins going on this off road adventure: Myself and Jayson from AZ Beemers. I am really trying to talk GSJane into also coming along. She could have "Debbie" (aka SkooterG) ride in the truck holding her purse!

 

[Tenchi]

I was eyeing off these and wondering how much lighter they feel compared to the strom. They look like they're lighter. I've been eyeing off the 800, but there's a few F650 GS's running around Seattle and if the price is right...

Just one question: Does it still have those messed up indicators, or does it have normal ones ?

 

[wheatonFJR]

congrats..I think...to beemerdons.

BTW, I can almost hear beemerdon's sidestand crying out in pain in that last picture.

Again...congrats...I think. If you had an R90/6 I would applaud with sincerity.

B - Build

M - Motorcycles

W- Weird

Courtesy of Smitty...whose pod opened, devoured him...so he is now a koolaid drinker too.

 

[beemerdons]

Hi Tenchi: Yes, they're same old goofy and messed up indicators. Ride to Real de Catorce with us and we can swap bikes!!!

wheatonFJR: I hear you loud and clear regarding my big, fat *** on the sidestand; was a posed shot from photog SkooterG!!

Would 1974 R90S count instead of an R90/6? Was my 2nd BMW owned and I've a line on buying back my R90S "Schatzie"!!

I'm going to be partying with Smitty at Fairlaner's house on Friday night. I'm going to teach him Wehrmacht drinking songs!!

Yes it would.

First saw the R90/6 in a 1974 August Cycle magazine touring comparo when I was fifteen. That article sparked my interest/obsession with touring this country by motorcycle.

Sometime when I ride the SW...I'll have to stop and say hey to both you and that former Wheatonite SkooterG. I would pay to ride on that R90.

https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=109831 wheatonFJR: Why not fly out and ride Death Valley with us!

If you flew into Sky Harbor on Thursday afternoon, I could pick you up at aeropuerto and you can ride Lucy Liu to DV Daze.

You could stay in Son Seth's room, he'll be at his Mom's house, and I can take you back to the airport on Monday morning.

You could room with me or SkooterG at Pahrump Nugget; remember my serious warnings about bunking with our SkooterG!

Always turn in wearing 3 pairs of Levis, one on top of the other; line the floor around your bed with 12+ empty beer bottles!

Sounds like the perfect plan...sep what usually keeps me from your fantastic voyages...greenbacks. I will ride with you someday...either in AZ or over in Europe mit Stef.

And I think everybody on the Forum by now has had fair warning now wrt SkooterG...but thanks again for the friendly public service announcements. It may prove helpful someday to the less informed.

Oh...and btw, you do know I crashed my '04 recently dincha? You either have alzheimers or need to spend more time reading the internets...I'd hate to crash on top of Lucy Liu.

 

[lnewlf]

Sehr niedlich und keine schaft.!

Mit mir? :lol: Aber sehr gerne!

 

[wheatonFJR]

ooops :blink:

 

[beemerdons]

wheatonFJR: I read about your mishap with your 2004 and was very relieved that you came out of it in relative good shape!

With the riding miles and years we both put on, not trying to be fatalistic about it, but sometimes accidents are just in the damn cards. In February 2007, touring with SkooterG naturally, riding the sandy road between Bahia de Cholla and Puerto Penasco, Sonora, Mexico - I grabbed too much front brake at a side road to la playa; down and out with a fractured fibula!

 

[beemerdons]

FJR Amigos, After seeing GregM photos showing my total lack of farkling, I took immediate action! I got with SkooterG and he helped me put together the following list of goodies that was sent into www.f800depot.com A lot of the items below are already on GSJane's bike and some of the items are different from hers. Can't wait for the big Ride to Real de Catorce, Mexico on 4/17/09! If you own a dual sport, or wanted to rent a Suzuki DR650 from Moto-Discovery, this is going to be a Mexico off road dirt bike ride of epic proportions! A real riding hoot!

SkooterG / GSJane are going with the OEM BMW engine guard/skidplate; I liked the SW-Motech item better, seems sturdier.

Besides OEM BMW ABS and the OEM BMW Vario side cases and top cases that I bought directly from Salesman Steve at BMW of Scottsdale, here's the first order for my new GS:

1) SW-Motech GS Crashbars $189.99

2) Barkbusters VPS Handguards $149.99

3) SW-Motech GS Mirror Wideners $52.50

4) SW-Motech GS Headlight Protector $59.99

5) Aluminum F650GS engine guard/skidplate $209.99

6) Center Stand $209.99

7) Givi GS Windshield $134.99

Boy I'm jealous!!!

I'm sorry to get off topic, have you ever rode a KLR650? If so how is the GS compared to that?

I was looking at the web site that is hosting your Mexico trip, wow does that look fun!!! :clapping: :clapping:

 

[Fred W]

Congrats Don!

Out of curiosity, I thought you were waiting on one of these:

Now that the 800GS is in the shops and available you switched to the 650.

Any particular reasons?

Good Morning Fred,

As you can tell by the photos: I'm sixty, overweight, not physically conditioned and though it doesn't show from the outside, I am still not 100% after my heart attack in 2005. GregM and GSJane let me take her bike out for test riding and my Owner / Friends at BMW Motorcycles of Scottsdale let me take an F800GS out for a brief spin on the street. The ergonomics of the F650GS, and lighter weight, just suited me better than the F800GS. Also, tubeless tires on the GS650 and tube tires on GS800.

Sincerely yours, Don
