nah - just smoke and mirrors but I still like it.
Maybe it would look better still with non-matching panniers and muffs...

On this site it doesn’t take long to notice, Rollmops!
You’d think that a site like this, a portal to connect those who ride two wheeled machines with engines, would be a great place for those likeminded people to exercise their common interest in a fraternal manner, but instead it often ends up being the opposite. Human nature I know, but there are enough ‘other people’ out there in the world to be angry with. Some need to chill, calm down, and enjoying being a motorcyclist with... other motorcyclists!
Shame about the GS stigma! I’ve ridden and owned many different motorbikes since I began riding - did over 30 years on nothing but pure sports bikes without issue (apart from being hated by most Harley riders). And there was no problem of perceived image when I rode a ‘BMW’ S1000RR, but as soon as I became a GS owner it became apparent! To me, it’s just another type of motorcycle. We can’t all ride the same bikes; if money was no object I’d have a fleet of bikes - all different...
Rollmops, please don’t ever visit the virtual pub - they (some) hate each other there.
This is partly due to some "buying into" the new thing.
For years you were a fuckwit if you didn't have a sportsbike and wheelie everywhere. At least according to most bike mags in the UK, then there's Harley's which as we all know are just a lifestyle and image enhancer for those who are gay and have small cocks.
Then there was Italian owners, bit strange, and not in a funny way either. Bmw owners who smoke pipes, wear slippers, sam brown belts and are likely to have a beard (even the female one) and ride to a system, whatever that is.
British bike owners, or to give them the correct name, troglodytes as they never get out of the cave as their bike hasn't started again.
Japanese, who can't make proper bikes; this isn't in anyway racist, they can't even work out how to do fish fingers, I mean come on.....
Then we come to the fauxroaders, a peculiar breed normally found in a local supermarket carpark, as they're just about to head off around the world, after they've finished creosoting the cat etc.
Then there's the orange ones, or Trumpies as they are now called, a combover, with small delicate little hands to go with their brain capacity and LOUD ego, proclaiming that they are best and anything else is fake news.
I'm sure there are other groups I've forgotten about, but then I'm too busy just riding my GSA.

Well, seems it won't be an issue as I am apparently unworthy of dwelling this virtual (back)watering hole.

This watering hole is like a Living Planet documentary watching Wilderbeast and Crocodiles figure it out.

Now I really feel like I'm missing out...
All you have to do is think 'crocodile'
You'll sit with your eyes just above the water line, pick a random thread that's getting too close to the waters edge.
Then Grab some random fucker and rip into them for absolutely no reason at all, spewing facts (or even fake facts) just to thrash the muddy waters further and make them feel useless.
Try it.
Or be like an Eagle, gliding serenely overhead, watching with scant amusement at the those who fight over a watering hole that they try to make their own, but which belongs not to one, but for all.

Vulture... you mean, Vulture.
Gliding overhead, waiting for the victim to flounce before descending for the amusement and pickings....

Back to the bike.... I quite like it. I think it's a pretty good homage to the Playboy bikes, if that's your kind of thing.
There are so many GSs out there now - at least you'll find this one easily in the NEC bike park.

Yeah because this one will always still be there when you go back to it....
I think it looks quite cool and matches the intended intention of it being a Paris/Dakar bike (it’d be good to see BMW take that more seriously other than a paint job). As good as it looks it’s not the colour scheme I’d choose to ride around the streets on though.
