I have photos of the San Clemente reservoir in 2006 and the water was right up.......now it's so low there are actually rideable trails where the water once covered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specs Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Mine is three years old next month, and have only managed 11k miles on it from new. I used to do that in six months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Bit obvious but the Strom isn't that much different in weight to the Beemer, but that seat looks much better than the Hondas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it would have been worth keeping just to ride the back roads, it being so much lighter and nimble than the big BM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Something's happening......but just a disclaimer that it's not the blue F700 in Malaga that I posted above. I don't have time to ride across Andalucia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Looks like it's going to be the week after next that it's available.......because there's a waiting list to get ITV's (MOT's) done due to the Covid shutdown. And you can probably guess that it's going to be the G650GS.......the CRF250L would be better offroad for sure, but onroad it would struggle because of the distance I need to go to reach the abandoned shit. I've done nearly all of the closer stuff......from now on it's going to be an hour or two to get to them. Doing that on a CRF (and I'd need to access motorways) would be hard going. So it stacks up like this.......2007 DL650 38K kms + €1500 = 2015 BMW G650GS with 19K kms, 1 year warranty, 2 years ITV (MOT). It's a no-brainer......I sell the Strom for what I paid for it 15 months ago, and the €1500 cash difference equates to 9 weeks Pension. That's been going into a separate Bank account and hasn't been touched.......so literally there's nothing coming out of my normal money. Like I said.....it's a no-brainer! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a spy network. Someone will report that there's a new Dark Motorcycling Beemer about that no one will recognize. And so they will approach you. Mark my words. You just made me realise that the Beemer really fits the "Dark Motorcycling" genre! And of course I've got a black helmet as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
