As I am given to understand you young people say: “Woot woot!”
My brand spanking new shiny red BMW F800S arrived today. Talk about a nervous ride home - £6500 worth of large unfamiliar bike delivered to my place of work, for me to ride home in the rush hour through major road works, traffic calming measures, and in temperatures enough to melt the tyres.
Wrong, sir, wrong! The correct spelling of the term is, “w00t w00t!”
That would make me nervous, too. Probably more than you, even, because I’ve never ridden a motorcycle.
pictures???
I’m afraid I don’t know enough about moterbikes to judgeit by the model:o
This is a publicity photo, not me!

You’ll probably look like this -----> 
or maybe this -----> 
nice. I don’t really like bmw motorcycles but i accually like that one. I am more of a i want a fast bike where I can race type of guy. i also love cruisers(thanks to my dad and telling me the only way I will get one from him is if its his or a crusier). I also love choppers and custom bikes. i do got to say I have seen a good bit of bmw’s with all the motorcycle riding and racing i do and considering i don’t really like bmw and touring bikes I love that bike
At least you didn’t have to balance it on the back of a scooter this time:p
Have fun, and be careful, the world needs Mikefule ride reports!
Very handsome ride, Mike.
Just curious, why deliver to your place of work? Interesting.
Nice ride. Do you have any thoughts for a rear seat cover?
The alternatives were for me to take bus, train or taxi to collect it from the dealer in the next county, or take time off from a busy work schedule to have it delivered to home.
Next week, I take time off from a busy work schedule to ride it,and hopefully get some unicycling in too.
Is this you?
cool bike.
I ride a Valkyrie and have been looking around. 'Don’t beleve I have seen ads for “unicycle scabbards?” They need to make something to carry a unicycle on a motorcycle with.
i almost said the same thing … its no good if you can’t at least hook a unicycle to it, or ride a unicycle and do it
A real (motor)biker carries his unicycle in his teeth. And doesn’t wipe the dead bugs off his 80mm cranks before riding it.
Yeah, plus the bugs give you protein, and the after-taste is to die for!! Yummy yummy YUMMY!
Nice looking bike! It’s not a model I’m familiar with so I’m guessing it’s not exported to the US. Is it an 800cc twin? I’ve been riding BMWs for about 8 years now and have been a huge fan of them for 40 years. It just took me a while to buy my first one.
I currently own 2. Both 1981 vintage (I’ve always had a thing for the air-cooled horizontally opposed twins), an R80GS and an R100RS. This new model of yours looks fast. Be very careful out there. Each and every car IS your mortal enemy.
Will be exported to US next year, I think. 4 stroke parallel twin with 360 degree firing, and a novel balance mechanism (similar to a lazy piston) to cancel vibration. 85 BHP, 6 gears, the lightest BMW ever made. Final drive through a toothed kevlar belt, like a Harley.
You be careful out among the English, Mikefule.
D’oh! First UPD - dropped it in the car park, trying to turn it at low speed on a slope. Scratches to the bar end and brake lever.
