Added another off-road rig, but mostly because I needed one for longer on-road trips.

Congratulations on the new bike.

I would say more, but the pictures are not coming through at work.

F800GS? Nice bike. Good both on road and off. Not too heavy. Suitable for distance/short touring.

IMO, it is hard to beat BMW bikes (except when it comes to cost of bike and service, then we say BMW="Bring More Wampum"). I have owned and ridden BMWs since 1982, and still have the 1982 650 (R65) which runs great after all those years. Hope you get the same longeivity out of you new bike.

Enjoy.

Thanks, k_enn! Loving it so far. A lot more comfortable than the WR, but keeping that for the trails.

Just wanted to give you a "heads-up."

The BMW national rally is July 14 to July 18, 2016, in Hamburg, N.Y. It is just south of Buffalo. If you are interested in attending, let me know and I can give you more details. I will be there, adn we can arrange to get together and/or ride together.
