I know I haven't been around for quite a while, let's just say that work got ca-razy and I didn't really want to spend my spare time on a computer when I was done.

I just picked up a '11 BMW F 800 R yesterday and managed to get her in the garage right as a huge thunderstorm came through. Looking forward to putting some more miles on today.

Very nice, grats. That's one of the bikes I was looking at for a while, look forward to hearing some feedback on it.

Very Nice! How do you like it so far? How many miles do you have on it now?

Congratz! I have always liked those bikes!

Wicked cool, dude. I like how the pipe is on the left. Really shows off it's lean look.

So far, so good. Not enough miles yet (only 66)..weather and Mother's day kind of interfered. Looking forward to a week of much nicer weather to put some real miles on.

Some more photos!







So far I have to say what is surprising me most is the torque. The bike just moves so smoothly and easily and does not feel like it is going fast at all (when it actually is!) so I need to watch it. I can't wait until the break-in period is done though.

No shyt! Been so long I can't remember what you had before the F800R??

(I remember all the way back to the Sportster, but there were one (or two?) bikes in between...?)

Nice memory, jstark! Yeah I had the '06 harley sportster, then the '07 kawi ninja 650 which I kept 'til I got this one.

Hi there nice to meet you.

glad you back on the scene.


(remember mum's are special)

Happy bike day
