My 05 Suzuki SV1000S, I love this thing and it's fast as hell. It was an impulse buy, my boss kept trying to get me to buy it and finally I said "screw it" and picked it up. Thankfully the girl was grinning ear to ear when I brought it home. When I ride to work, it's the bike I take. I haven't been on the bike much lately, as the cold temps just get to me riding.

This is my second bike that I ever bought, and I still have it but it doesn't get as much street time as the SV1000. 2014 BMW G650GS. I wanted something comfortable to ride and able to go off road from time to time. It's my long trip rider, I often enjoy exploring the Olympic Peninsula during the warmer months on this baby.

I ride whenever its comfortable, Friday is looking possible with warmer temps and less rain.

I've been at Harley Davidson head office in Milwaukee all week for some training. Amazing to see how much cool stuff they have just sitting around. Going to hit the museum tomorrow.

Traded in my 14' F700GS for this new 800GS.
Really wanted the 1200 ADV, but rolling a $30k bike in the woods didn't seem smart.
As it is, fully farkled out 800 is still $20k.

If anyone is looking for a highly maintained and pristine bike with 7100 miles BMW 700GS, check South Sound motorcycles for my old one. It's seen the WBDR and almost all of eastern Lewis county forest roads.

Being vertically challenged and sporting a 30" inseam, my tip toes are getting a workout on this 800, 700 I flat footed it.

Once I get it broke in, busting open the touratech catalog for a set of lowered progressives.

BMW makes nice bikes, just wish the price was Honda price....

I have a 2001 Suzuki Savage 650 I bought for my wife but she didn't pass the test so it became mine. It took me around Mt Rainier and was a great commuter bike.
Unfortunately it has been sitting in the garage for several years now so I need to figure out a way to get it to a mechanic to clean the carb/fuel system. It will start but dies after a couple of minutes from flooding.

The hardest part is taking it off the bike.
