Welcome to the BMW club. There is a reason they have been building the GS for over 40 years. It's an iconic bike which gets better every year. IMO, it's the Swiss army knife of bikes, it does it all, and is a pleasure to ride.
I was always looking at GS with some prejudice because here in Germany it's mostly ridden by blokes over 50 in Hi Vis jackets. Plus you see dozens of GS's on every bike stop. Then I bought one myself last year. It's an old 1100 from '97 but boy are these things good! I returned last week from a five week and 6000 mile trip on the old girl and she did everything I asked for and more. 47 mpg and no mechanical issues, pretty great for a bike that's 27 years old. And the newer ones have only gotten better each year.
I know what you mean about the prejudice. There was a guy in one of my Motorcycle training classes who had one and he fit the stereotype perfectly. Thanks for watching!
@@arideinthecountry You're welcome. I'm following you and am looking forward to more videos in the future. Love the Meteor by the way... i had a Bullet 500 for some years, most fun i ever had on two wheels.
I have the FAPO Mini Clip-on Lapel Lavalier Condenser Mic plugged into the GoPro Media Mod. I don’t think it’s so much the mic but the placement of the mic. I have learned over the years that it is best to have it taped down inside my helmet right at the corner of my mouth. Good luck with your first bike!
