Dirtiest R1100S/R1200S Competition

Just came home from work with a 3rd layer of mud in 2 weeks, so I thought I should share my desperation with you. The conditions outside were just perfect for something like this: light rain/drizzle, dust on the road turning to mud, lots of traffic splashing the dirt over me from all directions.

Unload your burdens, share your dirty secrets, show your dirt ridden bikes and maybe we can all feel a little less embaressed about it... please?

OMG!

...that "Rain" thing makes a bike look like this? Whew... one more reason not to ride in it...

It's actually finally raining here a little... but I won't compete with you on those merrits!

Ride the damned thing, let the rain wash it, it's a BMW, not a show horse.

pee the license place clean, spit on the odometer and you're good to go for a least a few more weeks.

Dirt? I didn't see any dirt pretty boy. It just looks like you've been riding it.

I've heard about such things, but didn't want to believe it could happen.

I've often wondered what a silver/gray motor would look like on a 12s; if you squint at the top photo , . . . it's almost there .

Looks like a well loved GS...Gets washed whenever God decides to wash it.
