BMW had a truly classy display. There were way too many BMWs to photograph, yet I admire all their bikes. I don’t think I’ll ever own one, but they are very cool. I really like the dirt/street bikes. I enjoyed looking at the F650 GS Dakar. Also, the R1150 GS Adventure with the huge gas tank always intrigues me – imagine hundreds of miles without a gas stop – I’m lucky when my bike does 150 miles between gas ups.

Also at BMW, I found this little hooligan. It was so nice I just had to sit on it and take a bunch of shots of it – all naked looking and with that rusty color. Me likely.
