Motorcycle is coming back together. I have probably 2 more evenings left of work to get it back together after successfully taking it back to stock / OEM form. It’s listed for sale so good progress. I keep getting pulled into night time meetings at work. 4th night in a row i have an 8PM meeting.
Great progress! Just need to pull the remaining wiring in the back of the bike.
Why do I have a sudden craving for a belgian farmhouse ale? Must be this warm spring weather.
I only went to a mechanic for a Brake Fluid flush because I don't have a lift down here and didn't want to crawl under the truck a million times. Service Advisor on my way out said "you know everyone who comes in here needs something done to their car and yours was perfect. I have …
This does not look like progress, but I promise you it is progress. There was about 100 feet plus of accessory wiring on this bike.
BUSY week ahead. In addition to work, I need to prepare my old motorcycle for sale. also, one hike, 3 weight lifting workouts, range time for practice and by Thursday I need to have a bike loaded up in the truck, get to sleep because Friday after work, I'm leaving to head up to New York to pick …
OEM suspension back in the motorcycle. Almost ready to sell. You’ll never get suspension money back in a sale. Might as well pull it.
Front and Rear OEM #R1200GSA suspension is back in! So much easier to install than the aftermarket shocks because the bodies are so much thinner. Almost back to stock!
I have a mechanic in training.
An evening in #GarminBasecamp to see if it’s possible to link #ORBDR #WABDR #DawsonCity #tuktoyaktuk #Bannf and #continentaldividetrail down to Mexico. It works and under 9,000 miles total. #AdvRider #AdventureRider #dualsport. #dempsterhighway
#RosieRed fuel tank is off. Next is airbox before I can finally pull the front shock and put the OEM suspension back in the front. #R1200GS
#RosieRed is getting taken back to stock. #R1200GSA

It's Friday, WOOT but it'll be raining all weekend so I'm going to strip down my old bike for parts and prepare that bike to go back to OEM so it can be sold. I'm going to miss it. 35,000 miles of riding to some really far-away places.
Totally cropped out the bike on accident in my last post. But I bought this thing yesterday. This will be 5th BMW GS Bike in 10 years and 7th BMW.
@kolin we've all been bamboozled!
SOLD!
I have purchased a motorcycle. Cannonball run up to Troy New York next weekend to pick it up and back home in one day. $27,000 bike for $23,000 making the trip totally worth it.
The scale said 226 today.
SOON. @maxbmwmotorcycles #R1250GSAdventure #BlueBetty. #RIPRosieRed
Interest rates really are the worst.

Also, hello 34/32 pants! Would love to get back to 32 but that’s going to be hard to maintain.
4th day in a row the scale said 227lbs. Getting really close to the goal
$200 Season tickets to minor-league soccer was well spent. Today was the pre-season opener. Got to sit on the field, free food and beer and got to meet the entire team. I know it's not MLS but Charlotte Independence is still a full soccer game with pro players. I have to go to 6 games to break …
