She also got me a demo on the new 800GS and the 650GS. So on the day I bought my 1200GS, I rode all the GS bikes.

The 650 felt like my 50 on how nimble the bike was, except it didn't have the "wobble of death" like the 50 has cause of the small 10" wheels.

The 800 was just pure inbred fun. It felt like a sportbike. It felt a little small to me, but I had just spent 6 hours of slab riding on the 1200, so most things would feel small.

The 1200, I am a very happy buyer. I had a blast the whole ride down the interstate. This was exactly what I wanted out of a bike when I sold the RR. It's not a slouch in the twisties and it is one hell of a touring bike. Much much satisfied beemer owner.

Perhaps I missed it but have you posted pics of the new bike?

Good times, good times...

Just got done with the trucks. Now going riding. F800gs seems like the good bike for the area

Hey, I didn't actually suggest it.

I left that for the Cutty Sark drinkers to add.

I'm still laughing about the look on your face when we first met.

I stalked Zoomie for a few minutes at the BMW booth, she had never met me.

Another BMW-ette was giving a briefing to the demo riders, when I walked up to her. In by best Southern dip-shit accent, I asked:

"Excuse me, I was thinking about going on one of ya'lls demo rides, but I have a question, do I have to ride behind a girl?"

To her credit, she maintained a completely professional attitude, (well, once she regained control of her eyeballs, and managed not to bite her tongue off).

And yes, I did step back about a foot when I said that.
