One to droll over...

Found on the net. It sure is a stunner. .

Having a poke at oneself....

R90S. In praise of a fine old lady BMW.

I found this video via Boxerworks forum. Thought I would share this ride with video taken from a very nice R90S is.

Roaming to Guyra. NSW Boxerworks meetup.

June 8th this year is the last time I went on any form of ride. WTF! That’s right I work shift work and work 3 weekends out of 4. So when I saw that the NSW Boxerworks guys were going to have a meet-up weekend I hoped that my shifts would allow this. Roster came out and I did have this weekend off. Wow a ride with an over night stay. Last time I did this was when Jan and I rode the Yamaha Plank of Pain to Cuc Phou in Vietnam. This ride to the Boxerworks would be just me. Old BMW riders sitting down yakking all night about all things BMW would drive Jan insane. Packed ready to roll. It was arranged that I would meet Bob Bennett at the Bucketts Way turn off from the Pacific Hwy and we would ride up together. Bob rider a R80RS. A few bikes are heading up this road today. A new BMW S1000RR comes around the corner and powers away. I joking say to Bob we can catch him. It was very interesting riding with someone I had not ridden with before. Bob with his R80RS. Besides the fact ...

BMW Group PressClub USA release....

Press BMW Group PressClub USA for release from BMW USA relating to the new K1600. For a 6 cylinder this looks to be narrow. I do like the look of that faring too.

Unedited 2011 BMW K 1600 GT and K 1600 GTL footage

I am not a fan of multi cylinder bikes above twins. BMW have made a 6 cylinder. I assume to take on the likes of Honda with their Goldwing (or as we used to call them downunder here Leadwings).Must admit I do like the look of the BMW 6.

Redleg's Rides: Book Review: The BMW Boxer Twins Bible

Redleg's Rides: Book Review: The BMW Boxer Twins Bible : "Here's another book review for motorbooks.com. I'd written before about BMW reference books,..." Looks like a must have book for all us Boxer riders/fans.

TORTILLAS TO TOTEMS.......

I have been a avid reader of Sam Manicom's books for awhile now. I started with what was his latest book Distance Suns . Then started to buy and read his other books. I have followed his round the world trip backwards as it were. Sam rides a R80GS. He had never ridden a bike before setting out to travel to Africa by himself. Sam's books along with Ted Simon's books were the inspiration to riding a bike when I was in Vietnam this year. Sam is releasing a new book about his epic around the world trip.... This recounts his riding in America with his partner Bridgit . I can't wait to sit down and read this book. I know again he will get those overseas riding juices of mine going again. If you would like to read any of his books please order them directly from him via his website... Here is a teaser of what you can expect....... ".... An hour or so later, as the sun was beginning to fall over the end of the valley, turning the violets, sages and greens of th...

BMW Porn .... "BMW enduro retro concepts"

These photos have been taken from Its all in Italian. At least we can drool over the new old 1200s. I do hope BMW make some retro GS.
