greiffster Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 This is what happens when you sit on someone's bike too long while drinking Makers out of tiny little red solo cups..... You boys enjoy your new rides. Bud, thanks for lunch. Alan, you did say I could test ride the new GSW in the fall. Link to comment
beemerboy Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Note to self; do not let Bud ply me with MM whilst considering financial transactions/vehicle purchases...... Link to comment
TEWKS Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Yeah, that's the " I'm getting a new bike grin" on both of ya if i've ever seen one! Congrats! Pat Link to comment
Matts_12GS Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Somehow I feel responsible for this at some level for organizing that MM distillery tour. Congrats you two. Link to comment
Bud Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 What scares me is that Foot looks HAPPY to get rid of his GS. Yikes. Maybe he knows something I don't want to know. I know I'm very pleased and I think he will after tomorrow when he picks up his new Wethead GS Adventure. Link to comment
Bud Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Note to self; do not let Bud ply me with MM whilst considering financial transactions/vehicle purchases...... Ply you with MM???????? Who had that 8 ounce glass in their hand??? But you did go get the ice so you get a bye this time and this time only. Link to comment

Chris K Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 That's what happens when you mix Makers Mark and BMW Koolaide. Link to comment
roadscholar Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 This is what happens when you sit on someone's bike too long while drinking Makers out of tiny little red solo cups..... As I recall there is nothing tiny or little about red solo cups. Congrats on the new bikes fellas. Link to comment
greiffster Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 As I recall there is nothing tiny or little about red solo cups. Bud found some... Link to comment
Foot Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I believe Bud got the better of the deal, but this followed me home today! Link to comment
Effjay Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Congrats and safe riding to both... (now go update your sig ) Link to comment
TEWKS Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 this followed me home today! That's an awesome looking motorcycle, Alan! Pat Link to comment
Bud Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 That's why I won't test ride a Wethead GS. Look at the grin on his face. One happy rider, for sure. Congrats Foot!!!!!!!! Link to comment
Jake Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Wow! Beautiful in blue - love that look. Enjoy! Link to comment
OoPEZoO Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Alan, will your Russell seat fit the new bike? Link to comment
Bud Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Alan, will your Russell seat fit the new bike? Well no, I'm sitting on it! Link to comment
Chris K Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Alan, will your Russell seat fit the new bike? Keith, almost nothing transfers to the new WC GS. Not my Russell , not the Jessie's,not the RKA windshield, not even the BMW top case. The top case pad and the passenger footpeg lowering kit was the only thing I could find would transfer over.

I know, from experience, that Chris is correct. Why? Because of everything Foot left on the bike when I bought it. But he seems happy enough in the photo above to not care. Evidentlythe Wethead is more than just an motor change. I'm not test riding one after hearing how happy Foot is with his new ride. He told me he has to keep the revs down for the first few miles but 5K RPM, in 6th gear, is around 85MPH! Link to comment
tallman Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Congrats to both. Looks like a win win. Over on K bike forum there have been quite a few converts to the dirty side. (Some newbs mistakenly call it the Dark Side but that is not correct which applies to K convert from boxer) Best wishes. Link to comment

That is the reason I've not bought the w/c GS. No way I'll buy all that stuff again. Link to comment

Foot Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Well I can tell you I will have to fix the same problems I had on the GS. The foot pegs are to high, windshield is a little short and the seat is less than adequate! Other than that the bike is amazing! Link to comment

The foot pegs are to high, windshield is a little short and the seat is less than adequate! Other than that the bike is amazing! That's the same things that needed to be fixed on the R12RT for me. Well, and the addition of some "Shawn sized" shocks. Link to comment
MT Wallet Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Great looking bike Alan. It looks like the bike fits you. I'd need a stepladder to get on it. Enjoy the ride. Link to comment
Bud Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Well I can tell you I will have to fix the same problems I had on the GS. The my legs are too long, my torso is too high and my butt needs more padding! Other than that the bike is amazing! Fixed it for ya!!! I know you are going to have a lot of good miles on that bike. If I ever ask to ride it you must say NO! NO! NO!!!! Link to comment
Scout7 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Nice! It's great to see you so happy with your new bike. Link to comment
