Yeah, and us without one in Austin.
Did Lone Star go out of business? I was completely oblivious to the 'move', but it looks like they are now part of Woods.
The owners sold the business to Woods and retired. Jesus wept.
On the dealer topic: I am going to satiate my Boxer curiousity with the R1200RS, is any D/FW dealer recommended now days ?
It seems like they are all flaky and over committed. I hope to never need a service tech and do all maintenance but a quality tech staff is probably important when buying one of these weird things.
Boxer-Philia....I has it.
I assume any dealership allowed to sell BMW has qualified tech to support the brand. I have assumed before.
Y'all failed to tell me that bolting a motorcycle to an airplane engine is FANTASTIC ! Quite possibly the best bike I have ridden in the 12 I have owned, time will tell if I discover things it won't do well. Good stuff.
Currently riding '13 F800gs, very happy with bike, use it for commute to work;Big Bend, and rides in hill country (pavement and dirt/gravel). Lately have been doing more rides with wife,just did 300+ miles on "painted church tour". Looked at 2015 rt last week, looks to be very comfortable w/large fairing, stereo, etc. Have never had a touring bike before,(coming off sport bikes-sv1000 Suzuki in garage, ridden around block every so often). Also contemplating 1200gsw, would enable more possibilities while riding, I think. Any feedback on long distance touring on gs?
