I
keep
getting
pictures
sent
to
me
from
family
and
friends
on
Facebook
of
cars
and
streets
covered
with
large
amounts
of
snow.
I
respond
back,
“why
do
you
people
live
there?"
And
I
should
know
...
this
is
the
front
of
my
mom's
house
in
CT
before
the
most
recent
BIG
storms. |

We
are
so
lucky
to
be
able
to
ride
year
round!
Whether
you
sport
tour,
dirt
ride,
adventure
ride,
or
head
to
the
track-
We
have
a
little
something
for
everyone!
The
GS
line
has
yet
to
have
much
serious
competition,
our
S1000RR
is
at
the
top
of
the
class
according
to
everyone
in
the
world!
It
has
even
just
been
named
“
international
bike
of
the
year”
by
all
the
international
motorcycle
journalists.
Here
is
an
excerpt
from
the
story-
|
| |
|
|
“The
jury
of
the
IBOTY
described
the
RR
as
“A
bike
that
combines
a
technological
breakthrough
with
remarkable
performance
and
everyday
usability.
This
bike
performs
as
well
on
the
racetrack
as
it
does
on
the
open
road.
With
the
new
S
1000
RR,
BMW
has
written
a
new
chapter
in
the
history
of
production
bikes:
this
is
the
very
first
bike
to
so
convincingly
integrate
electronics
that
improve
riding
pleasure
and
safety
in
equal
measures.”
The
IBOTY
award
crowns
a
tremendous
year
for
BMW
Motorrad’s
RR
that
has
included
accolades
from
motorcycle
magazines
worldwide,
as
well
as
race
wins
and
even
championships
secured
in
many
race
series
across
the
globe.
It
has
also
been
an
extraordinary
sales
success
story,
with
10,209
units
delivered
to
customers
in
its
first
full
year
of
marketing.
That
makes
it
the
fourth
most
popular
BMW
model,
behind
the
two
R
1200
GS
variants
and
the
R
1200
RT
touring
machine.
Interestingly,
more
than
90%
of
RR
customers
opt
for
the
innovative
Race
ABS
and
the
dynamic
traction
control
(DTC)
system,
showing
that
performance
and
safety
are
high
on
the
list
of
priorities
for
sports
bike
riders.
The
Belgian
magazine
MotorWerled,
together
with
14
other
bike
magazines
chose
the
RR
as
their
best
bike
of
the
year.
These
magazines
included:
Australian
Motorcycle
News;
PS
Magazine
(Germany);
Moto
Magazine
(Greece);
Moto
Motor
Magazine
(Israel);
Autocar
India;
Superwheels
(Italy);
Auto
Door
(Japan),
KicXstart
(The
Netherlands);
Bike
(Scandinavia);
MotoSI
(Slovenia);
La
Moto
(Spain);
Bike
(UK);
and
Cycle
World
(USA).” |

The
new
K1600GT
and
GTL
are
not
going
to
disappoint
either!
Jen
and
I
just
got
back
from
Las
Vegas
for
a
BMW
meeting.
The
highlight
of
the
meeting
was
seeing
the
K1600GT-
it
is
truly
the
best
of
the
best.
We
took
tons
of
pictures
and
enough
mental
notes
to
answer
a
lot
of
questions:
seat
height,
riding
position,
all
the
advances
in
technology
and
communications,
etc.
Jen
jumped
on
the
back
and
we
are
happy
to
report
that
the
passenger
accommodations
are
amazing
...
it
is
time
for
a
LONG
getaway!
Hope
to
see
you
all
very
soon-

Uh
Oh!
Gas
is
Climbing
Again! |

Don’t
be
caught
off
guard
this
time.
Gas
prices
are
creeping
back
up.
You
might
as
well
save
some
cash
and
start
enjoying
your
commute,
at
the
same
time.
The
BMW
G650GS
can
turn
in
an
impressive
70mpg.
Even
the
more
powerful
F-series
can
average
out
55
to
60mpg.

Ready

Never
in
the
history
of
BMW
has
there
been
such
a
broad
selection
of
wonderful
motorcycles.
From
the
fuel
sipping
G650GS
to
the
new
K1600GTL,
BMW
has
the
perfect
bike
to
fit
your
needs.
I
invite
you
to
come
take
a
look
as
we
continue
to
have
the

showing
up.
Go

your

your
route.
We
will
take
care
of
the
rest.
