GoldOxide,
Funniest thing I've ever seen on this forum! Well done...
I owned a 2002 1150GS Adventure, 2005 1200GS and 2009 800GS. Loved each one for totally different reasons. The Starbucks story, as told to me 15 years ago, was a joking insult made to guys who owned GSes, had the "correct" BMW gear or Aerostich suit, kept their bike immaculate, and only rode it to the dealer or Starbucks. The sales guys were always amazed at the "guys in suits" that came in purchase a GS, and all the accoutrements, and wondered out loud if they "really" needed an endorsement. Then proceeded to discuss their own plans for The Long Way Around. Used to be quite common to find a six-year-old GS with less than 10,000 miles. Who knows, maybe it still is?
