New Rides Required

One of many things we needed to go "Adventure Touring" were "Adventure Touring" motorcycles. It didn't take long to decide that an excellent choice of machine for our trip was the BMW F650GS due to it's excellent handling, relatively light weight and because there were catalogs full of accessories available to customize them to our liking.

After some hunting we both found the ones we wanted! Tweety found an almost new yellow (her favourite colour) 2005 and I stumbled upon a new leftover red 2006 model. The important part out of the way, we could leave tomorrow.... well not quite! It appears getting the bikes was only the start. Now to add accessories, figure out a packing list and how to get the bikes to Lima, Peru for the start of our adventure.
