My house got listed yesterday afternoon, and within less than 18hrs, there were already three showings set up between today and tomorrow. Looks like things are moving a little faster than expected, which is great!

got rid of my 2009 Nightster and picked up the 2013 BMW F800GS!
Things just got a little more official! I traded in my Harley and got the bike that I’ve wanted since before it ever came out. I remember reading rumors about BMW possibly creating a 800GS years ago, in order to bridge the gap between the 650GS (too small) and the 1200GS (too big/too expensive). After a few trips to BMW of Denver, a test ride of the F800GS & G650GS, and a LOT of discussion with the guys there, I decided on the 800, and put together a little list of accessories that I wanted to get as well.

Fast forward to February 2013…it was sometime around the moment this photo was taken when I started to realize I was too settled in Denver. I knew that as soon as I left Thailand, I’d miss it, and I needed to do something to break up the routine that I was bound to reenter. It didn’t take long to realize that some type of extended trip was probably the right option.
my Z1000, loaded down at the start of the Alaska Highway
I guess this idea started back in the summer of 2007…I took a leave of absence from work, with plans to ride a Kawasaki Z1000 around the US and Canada for a few months. Before the end of the almost 18,000 mile trip, I’d already decided that someday I needed to do a bigger trip, and at the very least, that trip would have to involve leaving North America.
