Hi William, I hope you love your thumbnail as much as your new bike. ;)

Chris, I delete the old one and add a new one and the old one comes back, I have done it 10 times, with different names too. The RT just won't leave me, even after the divorce and re-marriage.

One thing I am not too sure about yet, she sounds very "Far Eastern".

William, the new one is loaded - press Ctrl + F5 ( or is Shift + F5)

William ek moet se^, selfs daai ogies lyk "far eastern" ;)

Lovely bike - congrats. As Padlangs says, your new thumbnail is working. You need to hold the ctl key while clicking the 'Refresh' button on your browser, on a page where the old thumbnail is being displayed.

Congrats William, beautiful bike! Many happy motoring miles!!!

ABOUT TIME William Congrats Aka Beemerstyle

Hi William We are seriously looking at getting either the RT or the 1200GT. In fact we are test riding both this weekend. Can you give any advice as to why you went for the GT other than the backache? Anyone else got a comment? I also see you got your bike in Bloemfontein, any particular reason? Thanks

I have only just got my RT and already you have me thinking William. Really Nice Bike William Stunning. Keep your feet on the pegs, and your hat on - Safe riding to all

Very smart William. There's nought better than buying a new vehicle and having to do a long road trip. May you have many safe and troublefree miles together. I'd suggest you have the VPS protection done on the bike. Will save all those little nicks and scratches. Will be having my new bike done as well. Cheers Lawrence Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safetly in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadsides, loudly proclaiming WOW, What a RIDE!

A real BEAUTY William - congrats. Johan de Jager Live the BMW lifestyle !!

Looks good, take care of her, many troublefree KM's.

Lawrence, please tell more about the "VPS".

Chris It is a long story, I bought the RT because I wanted a Boxer, that was all I knew from when I had the 500, 750 and 1000 a long time ago. The K does not sound the same. The old straight six M3 and M5 were very good, the new V8's and V10's have already won awards - technology? I will never know why BMW did not go for a flat 4. Go compare, the power on the GT is so much smoother, so are the handle bars, no more numb hands, the torque is way superior, 40km/h in fourth and it pulls smoothly. I do not need the extra power, I wanted smoothness that you will never get from a twin. If a GT had been available to test drive I would NEVER EVER have bought the RT. Once you hit the open road you almost never change gears on the GT. I did over 100,000km's on boxers. Including lots of 1000+km trips. The 1000km trip in under 8 hours on the K convinced me. Phone me if you want 083 444 2626. There is NO comparison. It just does not sound like a BMW, neither does any other non-boxer BMW

Congrats Bill, May your mirrors never touch the ground. Ignore opinions, heed facts. Feet on the pegs, always.
