Re: BMW GS Riders
Ch00, I don't have a pic of one of ours, this looks like BMW's demo bike that gets sent out to prospective "clients"
The ones we have just been given have 180 degree front blue leds, and a 360 led cluster on the rear pole. They are soooo bright it's amazing, however, 'cos it's air cooled, the BMW rep says they mustn't sit at idle for no more than a few minutes. To get around that, the Police spec bikes have a small, secondary battery under the fairing which will run all blues for eight hours. Apparently, with the screen in the fully raised position, the bike can do it's top speed with the pole fully raised (about 7 feet up!) Just gotta persuade the Boss to signe me up for a bike course now!

Re: BMW GS Riders
There's a chap near me on what look like a red framed white bodywork HP2. He is the antithesis of your stereotypical beemer rider and only once, when really going for it down a section of road I know well have I gotten away from him. The chap is very quick indeed and I've seen him ride through a camera at 15 over the speed limit without a number plate on. In the right hands, these bikes can absolutely fly.
