I never thought it would happen to me.

Actually, i`ve had the niggling thought that it probably would one day, and with increasing age the likelihood of succombing to this most unnatractive of maladies has got stronger with each passing year.
Unfortunately the inevitable has finally happened, i have accepted my position and am getting on with things as best i can.

So, friends, the time has now come when i have to share with you all this most saddest of news.










































......that`s right folks......











































................i have become Mr middle-aged BMW GS wanker.







Sorry `bout that, i won`t bring it to any rat dooOOOoos.

You have my sincerest condolences.

Thank you for sharing.

In other EsoX related news, the original owner of the DR now regrets getting rid of it and might be interested in buying it back should you ever want to sell it- he posted on the AWoL magazine fb page wondering what happened to it.

I've had a quick look on here but can't find the post with pics of the DR when you finished it EsoX, any chance you could post a link to it or somewhere I can grab some pics for him please.

Hoon,
Don`t know if i`ve posted pics of the BIG on here or not but here are some latest ones to show the ex-owner if he looks in here.
With the arrival of the GS i am considering reducing the number of bikes in the garage but alas, probably not the DR at this time...i like it..

Nice one dude, he's not on here- ok if I post them on the AWoL fb page for him?

Totally understand that you're happy to keep it, glad you're enjoying it- I'm liking the yellow details too.

I'd love a quick go on it next time you're on it and I'm around.

Yes to both.
Got a link to this FB page?
I`d like to see what he thinks of it now, bet he can`t believe i`m still using those tyres!
(I`ve got a new pair of Michelin Annakee to go on when that rear finally wears out, i`m surprised it`s lasted this long. It`s a bit slidey even in the dry when leant over blatting out of small roundabouts for instance).
As far as the BMW GS goes, i`m afraid things have moved on a bit.......

This is the original owner and his post, it's on the AWoL magazine page which you should be able to find through this link?
I'll put the post on there now, might take me a while.
