2025-05-08 Beautiful memory

10 years ago, my R100GS/P was part of the special exhibition ‘Reise Helden’. Of course, the special exhibition had to give way to other topics long ago. But the German Two-Wheeler and NSU Museum Neckarsulm is always worth a visit, even without my BMW πŸ‘ And I’m glad to have my ‘grand old lady’ back

2025-03-19 Extra beautiful

A year ago, I fell at the office and broke my femur.

On my anniversary, I started my BMW R100GS for the first time in over a year: Charge the battery, open the fuel tap, press the starter: 1x brmpf and then: brumm brumm brumm – I LOVE her!!!! πŸ˜ŽπŸ€—πŸ˜˜
And then I rode my motorcycle again for the first time. To the MOT. And HURRA: she got it πŸ‘ Sometimes life is extra beautiful!!!

2025-03-18 BMW Museum – Update

The special exhibition ‘100 years of BMW Motorrad’ was dismantled and I picked up the souvenirs that were displayed next to ‘my’ Lady Sunshine, the F800GS. Among other things, Betty’s scarf – thanks again for that, I learned a lot from you, dear Betty!
But the hardcover book about my ‘Winter Trip to Alaska’ is still available in the BMW Museum Shop πŸ‘ And the paperback and the eBook about the trip are available in bookstores and online, e.g. here: epubli-Shop
