Bought my Bike
So three days ago I went to a local bike shop to look at things I've only seen on a screen. Helmets, Klim stuff, and of course bikes - but there was nothing too interesting in their line up.....Their clothing section is upstairs.
I turn the corner, and look down onto the floor - and they are rolling a new used bike - and I said - there's my bike! Its a 2013 BMW F800 GS, 18,000 KM, panniers, white. And it was not even in their system yet. I had been online shopping for one of these for months looking for a deal - and there it was....
So I took a deep look, sat on it - and everything said this is my bike. Returned a few days later - it was still not fully into the system as there are a few things that need to be done to it before ready for sale.....but I worked out a deal and there's a sold sign on it with my name.
After looking at, reading, watching video's on what kind of bike to take on a RTW - the bottom line was what will make me smile every time I get on - and the BMW is the exact right bike for me. ITs the right size, has most of the features I was looking for and was in the price range......
When I got home I wrote the following: WHAT THE F#@! AM I DOING - and HOLY F#@! I'M DOING IT!
Game on folks.
