You must have taken that picture this morning.
I saw it on my way in and couldn't believe you didn't ride it to work, then on my home for lunch I saw it was gone..
Congrats!

Took the picture Saturday actually. It was a bit chilly this morning, so I just threw a fleece jacket on under my suit. BTW, I also got an Olympia Stealth suit when I picked up the bike...I love it so far, but we'll see how it compares to the Phoenix jacket when the temps start to rise.

If the Olympia has a liner it's good through the winter. You should have been fine with the jacket and liner this AM, it's what I wore. Of course your commute is probably a little longer than mine.

Nah, it's their new summer mesh suit. No liner, but I was ok with the fleece under it.

My coworkers called me Iron Man. So where do I get my mini missile launchers?

Lug probably knows how to make those.

I love it! It's much easier to ride than the YZF, turns easier, and just feels more secure in the turns. However, I pinched a nerve in my back, so I didn't get to ride it today. Hopefully I'll be better tomorrow and will be able to take advantage of the nice weather.

Was wondering why the bike was parked during the last few riding days.

Turns EASIER?!?!
Holy crap... The YZF feels like it anticipates turns to me.Sorry to hear about your back! Hope that heals up quickly.

Out of 500 bikes tested/ reviewed for turning and handling, the GS was number 5...
I found it hard to believe too, as it's NOT a sport bike by any stretch of the imagination, and definitely NOT the sportier BMW on the market, but it rated higher than any other BMW and well above most "top of the line" sports bikes.

I can't drive it, and he's been on travel (but he took the keys anyway).
Next time get a copy of the key, and I'll take you for a ride!!
