Opa's New Toy

I know I am getting older but probably not too much wiser as I succumbed to a purchase fever of yet another motorcycle. After watching "the Long way around" the "long way South" and reading the "Investment Biker" there I was searching the internet and my 2 favorite dealers for a late model R1200GS. I even test rode one and as you might have guessed fell in love with the bike.
That being said I called Iron Horse in Tucson and "LO" they had one there as well a 2008 version with all the good (necessary) equipment at a price only $800 dollars above the 2005 model I test rode. So after 36 hours of thinking I did it and bought the bike in Tuscon after reading about the upgrades on the 2008 models! More HP improved brake systems and new trip computer and improved suspension all of which I will use on my back road trips in AZ and beyond.
So if you see banners of dust on some back road trail in AZ NM and beyond it might just be your "silly Opa"
Wish me luck!
