First off congrats on the Duc, Jeff. Of course this will just be the first one - that's the way it works.
The ST2 is sold, should be picked up later this week. The Aprilia is still in the shop, and a tech from Aprilia USA is going to look at it Tuesday as they shop can't figure out why it is throwing codes and won't run (ha).
I was planning to ride to Laguna Seca to watch some POC races but as of Tuesday of last week I had no bike. I was trying to figure out what to replace the ST2 with and MTS was in the mix. I then saw a KTM that was on sale and did some research at advrider.com. That then led me to ponder BMWs...never owned one.
To shorten the story. Wednesday I went and rode an R1200GS. I then called around to local dealers to see what the scoop was. Thursday morning made a deal for a demo bike with 500 miles on it, Friday around noon I got dropped off at Irv Seaver BMW and rode home on my new GS. Swung by the g/f's house and packed her stuff in the top box, then my stuff at my place, then north to Santa Barabara to stay with friends. Saturday north to Laguna Seca. Sunday back to LA via Hwy 1. 800+ miles for the weekend 2-up. Brilliant bike...
