    So how many GSes does one man need?

    Really, just the one. I, however, have had two for the last five years or so: an '09 R1200GS that I bought new, and then an '01 R1150GS that was on consignment at the local dealer until I decided that I had to have it. The 1150 has been a good bike, and Beth and I used it for 2-up trips mostly It has a Corbin seat, and Jessie luggage, so it's been a comfortable ride to tour on.

    However, since I took it to Colorado and back nearly two years ago, it has barely gotten 100 miles on it. I thought I had it sold to Dare Devil Drew last year, but he got a flare-up of prostate cancer and had to cancel the deal. I offered to give it to my son, and he initially said yes, but then he said that he wouldn't do it justice.
    So I put it online and finally got a buyer from SC. He's retiring from the Army and plans to take it to Alaska. He's an experienced rider, and I think it's going to a good home.

    I’d rather think someone’s a son of a bitch than to have him think I’m a son of a bitch.

      I've never owned one of those models, but looked hard for one when I still had the KRS.
      Came really close to buying a used XR that the dealer had on consignment, but then I
      read about the cost of your service. This couple had bought a motor home and were
      selling off everything to head out on the road.
