Talking Job promotion secured... New toy on order

Well after months of tests and assessments, presentations and interview I found out last week I was successful in my application

So I will be an operational paramedic clinical team leader

I move onto a new pay grade etc so I thought I need a treat

My other passion is motorcycling and in particular adventure biking. I went to morocco last year and it was just THE MOST amazing bike trip

So...... I have decided its time for an upgrade

I have put a deposit down today for one of these.....

The new 2014 BMW R1200GS Adventure TE



I'm a very bad man but OMG this thing rocks

Delivery end June early July so can't wait and I'm a sucker for BMW not only cars this will be my 4th GS bike.

Woo hoo

Jon

Great news on the job mate!

Also on the choice of bike!

I part exchanged my Fazer 1000 for a BMW K1200R about a month ago, you'll love the shaft driven BM!

Every time I go out on my bike it's an adventure!

Will I know where I'm going?
Not often

Will I fall off?
Probably

Will I nearly fall off?
Loads of times

Will I stall it in the most difficult situation (river, steep hill etc)?
Of course

Will I run out of fuel in the middle of nowhere?
Not yet, but nearly

Whatever the weather, will I arrive back cold, wet, muddy and tired?
Oh yes

Will I have enjoyed myself?
Abso-bloody-lutely!

Congratulations on the promotion BTW.

Cheers for the comments :-)

I've had shaft drive for last 10 years and could not do chains now.

Fair play to you on the bike. In your line of work you must have been to more than your fair share of accidents, I doubt I could get on a bike after that.

Congratulations on the promotion, ride safe.
