Winterstop, first ever

[Francois_Dumas]

First time in my life that I took the BMW out of insurance for a few months. My deteriorating physical condition and subsequent surgery made me decide to call it a winter..... no use spending money when not being able to ride.
But it DOES feel weird, looking at my GS in the garage and knowing I can not ride it...... not even for a few miles.

I hope the healing process will be completed by the time Spring arrives. According to the doctors I should be able to ride again, so fingers crossed.

Meanwhile, wishing you all happy riding for as long as possible !!

Hi Francois, good to hear from you

Have you considered a smaller bike?

 

Im really enjoying the size-weight reduction of my Zero DSR vs my old BMW 1150RT. 
Also the electric has many advantages over ICE (but unfortunately range isn’t one of them). 

Hoping you mend fast & proper.

Hi ESokolof, yes, looked at another bike little over a year ago. But with all the Covid restrictions here in Italy nothing much happened. No riding either. 

I guess I am not ready to give up on the GS yet. The one thing I would like is to trade it for an Ural with two-wheel drive, but Nina hates anything Russian, and won't let me, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. 

 

Hopefully I can get back on the road in a month or two.
