BMW farm bike ride report

[simon burkeMember]

Since you got so exited Snowy about hearing that i was going on an ADV ride,i thought i better do a ride report just for you…and anyone else who is interested.
Now,i don’t ride road bikes and i have never been on one before…so my ride report will be my thoughts on comparing riding a dirt bike and riding on the black stuff.A perspective of a road bike Virgin
First impresion was how heavy they are !!! (hate to try an pick one up on the side of a hill)
Secondly,i was in the dirt bike riding stance for the first half of the trip,which i soon learned that it is not nessasary :dry: .My thighs were ready to stand up alll the time and move my sexy body to different positions in a split second.I was like a wound up spring ready to explode :cheer: …But there was no reason to :huh: .the pegs had rubber on them…that was bloody weird. :huh: The dash had heaps of info on it and i had to get use to using indicators :dry: that was bloody weird :blink: Couldn’t see the front mudguard.that was bloody weird :huh: I was doing 100km +…that was bloody weird :huh: Cars looked like they were going at snails pace…that too was bloody weird :blink:

All in all it…to me….was a very weird experience :cheer:
The trip back from Bendemeer was better as i got use to how to ride it

The comparision between both…IMO…is that they are so bloody different its not funny.
I DID enjoy myself…i mean your on a bike…How can you not? :cheer:

Gordan is the farmer who took me for a spin.The BMW 650 GS i rode is his “Farm Bike”.He rode his “work bike” the BMW R1200 RT. We did about 100km and it was bloody fun !!!Thanks Gordo :cheer:
It would be a wicked bike to take out west !!!!…Working on it TB
Have i become an ADV junky now?…no. Give me pines and mud any day :woohoo:
But,to take a bike away on a long trip for a few days…Hell yeah
I know its not a “road bike “as such…but its the closest to a road bike that i have ever been on.
Hope you enjoyed my comparison and i had a bloody good time :cheer:
afew Pics

Nice report Bollocks and thanks for sharing your thoughts and views. I agree anytime on any bike is better than no riding or being the type of person that hangs shit on something they haven’t done or tried. I used to enjoy my road bikes as well in the day but always liked the dirt more. I really do love the motard wheels on my XR when I fit them but alas if I do much of that I will be walking (instead of driving) or dead :laugh: it’s soooooooo much fun 👿

Do it all mate I say, I have done most all there is to do on bikes and love it all just some parts more than others

Camerons will be a legend trip this year I can’t wait, don’t know if the bemmer is the bike for it though, what’s doing with the XT??

I think he is only borrowing it to ride to Camerons Boony

[Sean RamsayMember]

when is the camerons ride?
it’s a trip I plan to do myself

[Ron BirrellMember]

I wholly agree with you TB. Coming from a road background I enjoy any and all forms of riding. I now enjoy dirt and have my 11 year old son to thank as he wanted to learn to ride a bike.

[Nick JacksonMember]

Good stuff Bol!!
It’s going to be great to have you riding this year to Camerons mate, I love my single trail riding but I’ve got to say the adventure riding has got me too. It’s a huge country we live in and would take 2 lives to see it all on singles so I’m all for the ADV experiance.
Looking forward to seeing the bike you chose to do adventure rides ??

[MalMember]

Nice report Bol.

It is wierd when first start on a road type bike.

Maybe it was that you were on a BMW cause I heard you have to fairly old and and in the early stages of dementure to ride one of their ‘adventure’ bikes. :laugh:

Good luck with what ever steed you choose for adventuring.

NOW get back on the WR and ring it’s neck!!!!! :woohoo:

[GregMember]

Charlie and whats his name aren’t old just whinging poms :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I admit I think old when I here BMW :blush: But they do make the best equipped and finished bikes on the market IMO I rode a 800 for a mate to purchase a couple of weeks ago and it was finished nice
