Thanks guys..

Jamie: This BIke was for exhibition. and is the first in argentina. They offered me the "as it" but 0 Km.! , and I've bought it. LED lights are optional like pics, and ABS and heated grips are standard here.

Lava Orange and rear wheel really looks very nice ... :)

Hey Bernado, congratulations!! Lava Orange is very visual.
This has to be the very best of BMW Motorrad. The cutting edge of motorrad building, imho.
Our std R spec here has the same wheels as R1200R.

Hi guys :)

Finally on Wednesday I got "La Gorda" :) .
This weekend I traveled to the mountains of Cordoba, here in Argentina.
Roads with many curves and beautiful scenery.. Here are two pics showing the "Valle de traslasierra", at the top of the mountains.
Where?: Google Earth: 31º 43' 58.76" S , 64º 54' 06.38"

2 days, 1140 km...

The bike: Fantastic, worth every gram of what it costs :wink: , but.. is another history

Sweet, lovely scenery and that windscreen looks like it should give you that little extra comfort. :)

2.200 Km. on the clock of "La Gorda"

This Week end, at the Córdoba mountains was another edition of World rally championship. 1.5 million of persons was there...

Here is a pic of a official filling of fuel on cars between primes

It looks like "La Gorda" has taken you on another good trip Bernardo. I notice the bag on the rear is a bit more full on this trip. I think that I am going to install the sport panners on mine this week. Thanks for sharing the pic.
Enjoy :thumleft:

For me is more easy without sport panners, specially in this trip, because I surpass a endless line of cars who wait or move at walk speed, during 25 Km. at the end of the race... Simply I easily and carefully surpass them. With a car: 25 Km:4,5 Hs With la gorda half an hour...
I like the bike naked, is more narrow, for that I don't love very much sport panniers, may be a tail one, like Jamie's tail Bag...

That makes good sense. I like the slim look best as well, but I need to have room for my girlfriend to fit on the back some of time. :D
