Sadlsor goes x-country on the GS Adventure

That would be funny ,
Was just wondering if he was using his bike our a school's bike? Being that he plans to ride his across half of the country

The bikes they sell are bikes used for training as I understand it. They do use 750/850 bikes as well so maybe they would start on a smaller bike. But, might as well learn on the bike you'll be riding.
 
He was setting up his own bike for the training. He shipped some parts in his box, that he was changing out yesterday.
I only saw three 850s as most of the other bikes were all 1250s.
You could rent a school bike, if you just wanted to take the class.

Some here have read about my abandoned 1250 GS Adventure I bought last December in California; it's waiting for me at RawHyde in some little bitty community not far from the Mexican border.

Hope you have a safe journey home and that looks like a nice bike, don’t think I would have had the patience to wait that long
 
Short update... RawHyde is exceeding my admittedly high expectations. After yet another gourmet dinner, I had a satisfying conversation with one of the coaches for over an hour.
I have to confess, at this moment -- I am literally, in every respect, living my dream of 15 years. To be here, in a first- class, top shelf training academy, with another dozen or so like-minded individuals from across the globe. Oklahoma, Florida, Tennessee, Michigan, France, Germany and even California.
I'll start the GoPro tomorrow, but here's a teaser for now. After the day of riding is done... lest you get the wrong impression... the bikes are all parked.

Tomorrow you will wake up in you bed at home... it was just a dream :rofl1: Livin the dream, very cool.
 
Welcome to the BMW club, and I hope you enjoy your ride home.

I'll just note that the handguards make it very easy to fab a pair of HippoHands out of duct tape and anything with a bit of rigidity (I used mylar bubblewrap.) I found them to be a huge help keeping my hands dry and warm with just the stock heated grips and a decent pair of gloves. The plastic guards by themselves don't really do much when it gets cold, so don't expect a lot.
 
Let me know when you get near Tucson, we’ll grab a bite to eat.
 
Is daylight savings time working for you, or against you?
Ride safe.
Arizona not only has deer, but coyotes, wolves, javelina’s, tortoises, Gila monsters, and of course my favorite rattlesnakes.

Very familiar with moose. Never hit one luckily, unlike @SupraSabre did with the wild horse in his truck.

It is my understanding that moose are not very bright, were you to hit one, its not going to be good - they can easily weigh more than 1000 lbs, and if you don't kill them, they might try to stomp you into the dirt. The only good thing about them is their height - you might be able to ride under one (I've been watching that Rawhide video).:rofl1:
