Hollow Road Rider Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Does anybody in this forum ride a GS or GS/Adv? Is it all RT's and K's here? Just wondering.... Link to comment
Whip Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Lots and lots of members ride the GS/ADV. The board is no longer just about the RT. It is about life, living, and riding. Please join us on the journey. Link to comment

Please join us on the journey. Amen to that. Plenty of Adventures, non-BMW rides, and others. The most important thing about this site is the people. We all come together for that.....and telling lies after the ride, of course. Link to comment
Hollow Road Rider Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Well, that's good to know. I joined this group when I rode an RT. Then I got the GS/Adv and found that other group that is quite popular and crowded. I come back here once in a while, but when I search for "GS and GS/Adv" I don't get any results. Where do they hide? Link to comment
outpost22 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I come back here once in a while, but when I search for "GS and GS/Adv" I don't get any results. Where do they hide? Under their broken final drives Link to comment

Where do they hide? The search engine may be the culprit, as it doesn't handle searches for 2 and 3-character strings well. You may do better by using the asterisk wild card; e.g., gs* adv*. OR, use google's "site:" feature: site:bmwsporttouring.com gs adv More on advanced Google search techniques: How to Become a Search Ninja. Link to comment
David13 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Do you mean Adventure Rider, or ADVRider? They are crowded, indeed. And totally worldwide. dc Link to comment

Richard_D Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Probably due to the weather and the economy for some. Link to comment

Burt Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I sold my RT, and bought a GSA in October. I haven't put too many miles on it yet, but I've enjoyed it so far. Link to comment
RichEdwards Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I've got a GSA. Like it a whole lot better than my '03 RT (sold 3 years ago.) Link to comment
DirtyDR Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 How about a GS and a RS? Sorry but I like pictures. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Owned a GS for a year before running back to the comfort of an RT. Didn't give it enough time me thinks. I'd like another GS or similar someday. Pat Link to comment
1LIFE2LIVE Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 How about a GS and a RS? Proves that almost any bike can provide Adventure! Sorry but I like pictures. Link to comment
kmac Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The other sites like ADVrider are amazing for the ride reports and the crazy amout of knowledge and info you can get there. For me there is just too much profanity and slamming of people on a personal level. I love a good jab or and friendly ribbing, it makes things real and even more personal like any relationship would be in life. So I like this site better than those big sites with hundreds of thousands of members. There is alot of knowledge here, the site moves fast enough to stay interesting, but is a bit more civil than the others. This is not a knock on those sites at all, just a personal preference. If you look at the signatures of memebers here you will see lots os GS/GSA owners here. As well as other adventure multi-purpose bikes like Teneres and Tigers and f800GS.... Mechanically speaking the RT and the GS are close enough that the info is interchangeable for service and tuning. Best wishes with the newer scooter. Kelly Mac Link to comment
