This pic was taken fairly soon after purchase summer of 2010. I was moving up from a 1981 Honda GL1100I (old Goldwing).

That is really cute. I've got 4 kids and they loved putting on the gear--didn't matter it was way, way too big. Haha. Thanks for sharing.

Kinda looks like a bat with a helmet on.

[froggy]

Heh, yep! We were obviously nearby. Don't know if I'll make it to the Falling Leaf this year--my daughter gets married the next weekend. Maybe I can sneak off to the rally on Saturday for a few hours.

Ya live near by,Im sure a FEW hours wouldnt hurt much.:doh

[ALIENHITCHHIKER]

I was moving up from a 1981 Honda GL1100I (old Goldwing).

So what do you think? How does the boxer twin engine compare to the old Honda flat four? Was there anything about the Honda that you miss?

I'm just curious.

Love the bike... and the location is cool too!

[SeabeckS]

Gee, I was thinking about a ride from Seabeck to the Ridge, but I don't have those studded snow tires mounted up this year. LOL

But, I will confess that this winter for us has been a bit on the mild side. (knock on wood)

Nice bike, maybe see you around PA sometime this summer...!

Where at? I lived in Houghton while attending MTU for a number of years in the 70's & 80's and hold that area dear to my heart, missing it often. Did you get to see "da-yooper" visitor's trap ( http://www.dayoopers.com/thetrap.html ) outside of Marquette with the bigger than life chainsaw (Big Gus)and "rusty chevrolet"?:clap

[rydor]

Beautiful bike Rydor, send some of that weather this way puhleeze.
Thanks! Warm weather is on the way!

Here's more after I striped her up. Thought the classic double white stripe on black would look good on the S, but it was hard with the bike's lines. I don't recall seeing any S's done in this way... any thoughts would be appreciated...

Rydor, gorgeous. The pin stripe looks nice. I can see where that took some thought.

Who said a RT has to stay on the tarmac?

http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx323/mike_philippens/P1000207.jpg
This is on my trip to Morocco. This was just a little show for the picture (the road is behind the photographer) but we did some gravel/dirt roads as we traveled the 'outback' in Morocco. There were also roads that were partly destroyed by flash floods and falling rocks from the mountains. Some roads looked like they were hit with clusterbombs...but my RT took it well, thanks to the HyperPro shocks and spoked wheels.

Since then, some things have changed for my Beemer:
http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx323/mike_philippens/Daktari/IMAG0020-1.jpg
I painted the casecovers white and put on 'Daktari-style' stickers.

My bike is a '97 R850RT ex-police bike.

Nice trip!
Africa.... someday. Sigh..

You should do a before and after captioned something like:

"RT goes native after trip to Africa!" :laugh

[Mike_Philippens]

Africa.... someday. Sigh..
I realise it's a bit out of your way, but it's addictive. As soon as you drive off the ferry in Morrocco, you feel that you enter another world. For us it was a 2500km ride from Holland to the south of Spain, and we rode around in Morrocco for two weeks and went back.
This year, I go back. I'm helping to get a team together to drive to The Gambia for charity. We go through Morrocco, Mauretania and Senegal. We're planning to do some 'Dakar' stages (not the same speed, just the route) as we go through the Sahara desert. We go on old Yamaha XT600Z Tenere's and we're donating them to Riders For Health. This organisation gives them to doctors so they can provide medical care to people too far away from the clinics. We also donate spare parts, so the bikes can keep going.

It's part charity, but also a big Dakar style adventure for us!

Africa is great for driving a bike, but unfortunately, parts of it are dangerous because of wars and criminals. Some reports are exaggerated but there are parts where there's a real threat of landmines or robberies. But if you know where to go, it's quite safe.

[Mike_Philippens]

Here's more after I striped her up. Thought the classic double white stripe on black would look good on the S, but it was hard with the bike's lines. I don't recall seeing any S's done in this way... any thoughts would be appreciated...
Looks brilliant! I always liked the S. I was in Italy at the F1 GP when this bike was introduced and somewhere in town of Monza, a couple of them were parked. The Italians were absolutely in love with it, even though it's not a Ducati. They loved the exhaust and the lines. Very nice to see the true love for the design withouth nationalism.

Dare I ask how you did it? Are you a pin stripe artist yourself? It look so tight! Great job, however you did it!

Just got my rebuilt seat from Rick Mayer. I have seen a few members with the same seat on the R1100S. It is not perfect comfort, but it is much better than stock.

I was not able to ride to his shop for a custom fit, maybe someday.

It's weird, but I like the stiffer foam of the Corbin seat on my K75S. Put an Alaskan Leather sheepskin buttpad on it, and it is near perfect.

Looks to be a switch for a heated seat...but I'm guessing.

[mgordon]

Looks to be a switch for a heated seat...but I'm guessing.

This appears to be a stock seat. My guess is that it was re-covered by the PO, and he installed some kind of gel insert. That appears to be an air-valve, so that once the seat is compressed, it draws air back in. That's all i can figure out, apart from tearing it apart!

That really is nice. I don't think I have seen matched bags like that before.

Thanks I agree about the best looking bike BMW made. Yes custom painted bags and PIAA lights on an AutoSwitch. It also has both side brake/clutch RAM mounts, and two Powerlet plugs on the fairing. 44,000 mile and runs very good. I will zero the maintenance when I have a chance. Just got the peg lowering.

I am looking for head guards and tank bag. Also the feeler gauges:clap and other DIY maintenance Items. Any body got a shop manual they do not need. I have both airhead and brick head manuals to trade....

I wanted the same bike as yours with the same color scheme before I bought my Phoenix. There were none to be found except in Manhattan at the time. My dealer in NJ tried to get them to swap for a bike they had and the Manhattan store wouldn't budge. Make sure you keep it, i'm sure it's going to be a collectors item.

Unless you're planning on converting it to a racing bike, keep the bags. Someday you're going to decide to sail to California with it and tour the coast, maybe ride the Sierra Nevada, visit Utah, or who knows what.You'll be happy to have them.

I can almost feel the spark of the road underneath that left footrest on the curve!

Gorgeous photo!

You must have had a friend in place with pro camera gear, set up with 1/1000th sec shutter speed.

QUALITY!

That's a lot of chrome....

Love that color...needs stripes:nyah

Just saw your comment, thanks for the idea, stripes will look great!

Taken while visiting my daughter in St. Louis. The '94 1100RS started life pearl but was repainted red by previous owner. Maybe he was inspired by Voni.

Just bought this 2002 GSA off of EBay, rode it home to New Orleans from New York, rode the whole Virginia Skyline and Blue Ridge Parkway.

terham, just read about your 4 day trip around Pennsylvania the other day. Wet trip, but fun to read. I have been through some of those areas. There are some great backroads up there. I assume this picture was taken near Hawk Mountain/Hermy's?

So sorry Bluehole...

They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing twice and expecting a different outcome. Well, yesterday I bought back my 2004 1150GS that I sold a year ago. As soon as the new owner rode around the corner with it I started having seller's remorse. I finally talked him into selling it back after a year. An expensive lesson learned.

IMO, the R1100S is the best-looking boxer BMW ever made. And yours has the best paint job BMW ever made. You've got the best of the best, so far as looks go. Even so, I'm pretty fond of my R1100RS for comfort and practicality, while still making a sweet looking and handling boxer. :beer

Thanks Mark...! I shopped a long time to find my bike, thought a lot about a red/white/blue BCR. First time I saw a Titan Gray/Mandarin S I knew that it was the right machine.

Funny thing is, a good friend has a black R1100RS pretty much like your great looking machine. Funny thing is, that I talked him into buying it...his RS is the only bike he's kept for more than 2 years. He's had it since '99!

Cheers! :drink

I have to agree that the RS was one of the best looking boxers ever but it was THIS color combo that I saw at All Seasons BMW on my way to the MOA Rally in Lima OH that turned my head! :clap

Wow, you really cut back on the budget to afford that bike!

[JoshuaTree]

Well, it was THE FIRST model of BMW I ever rode. I blame it for my "obsession". Yeah, that's it. It's the bike's fault...

I just hope my K75S doesn't get jealous.

It only took 10 years, but finally I have an oilhead: 2000 R1100RS

[bluehole]

cat0020, beautiful picture. What is the story behind it?

Joshua Tree, I have the exact same bike. The more I ride it, the more I like it. I will be interesting to see how it compares with your K75S.

[04R1150RS]

Not a very good picture, here's my slightly modified R1150RS. Recently made improvements to the color scheme. Satin black powder coat to foot peg mounts, rims, forks, final drive and drive shaft housing black. Also has a BMW grey tinted wind shield and tinted black front turn signals.

It's amazing the number of looks the bike gets and comments about the color.

SeabeckS: Nice looking R1150R. I had one just like it. Same color. It was my favorite beemer. I wish I had it back. Also, of all the bikes I've owned, more people came up to me and complimented on that bike.

[SeabeckS]

Hey Al,

Yeah, I also got a lot of compliments about QuickSilver...it was a great bike. Enjoyed it immensely, but got the hankering for something a bit sportier. My Titan Gray/Mandarin S is even more fun (IMHO) than the R was...

The R was sold to another local rider, he uses it for a daily commuter, and it's been completely glitch free. I got a good price for it, but he still thinks he stole it from me. LOL

Cheers!

really strange looking oilhead.

what's your point? (isn't the name of this thread "post a picture of your OILhead"?)

[Tyedyed]

Changed the color from drab gray to PPG Alpineweiss 3 from the late model BMW car colors. Also, changed out the motor for a newer Dual Spark.

[SeabeckS]

what's your point? (isn't the name of this thread "post a picture of your OILhead"?)

IMHO, he's okay posting that...after all it is an "original" S. :laugh

So he gets a pass vote from me...but then I am sort of "closet" R90S fan. :whistle

OTOH, I'll take my '04 S over an R90S any day of the week, and twice on Sundays...

I agree with SeabeckS, the posting is just fine and the Daytona looks sharp !
wish he had a pic of a the classic Silver Smoke :bikes
Those R90S's are considered to be the first sport touring bikes
A little tolerance for your brother and mine !
Are we not all BMW riders !
(his other ride is probably an oilhead)
Safe riding folks !

Why thank you. Coming from a brick to this, the change is drastic but I'm very happy with the update. It reminds me of my father's 74 R90S on steroids in every facet.

Perhaps if I'd gotten one of those in '04 instead of a standard Roadster I'd still have it. But on the other hand, I do like my Gray/Mandarin 11S.
