Well it made me smile, and the title of the thread did strike a chord. I've recently bought a spanking new 1200GS, my second BMW in over 50 years of riding bikes and I actually found myself telling a mate that it may see me out, from a riding point of view anyway.
However having read some of the horror stories on UKGSer perhaps I'm not so sure.

I don't find any bike boring. Just the riders.

I'd say his lardy Rocket 3 is more of an old bloke's bike.
He better not wait too long before he gets his GS, he'll never be able to throw his leg over it.

the biological clock is ticking, the time comes when you have to get a "dads" bike!

almost sounds like the guy hit the time in his life when the MPV is necessary in the garage :dry: :laugh:
