Browsing through some old photos, found a large pile of negatives which I've begun to scan - provides much better quality than scanning the photos themselves on a flatbed.

Aug 1st 2001, on the Sustenpasse:

Still think the 1100s is a stunning looking bike. Interesting what you say about the 1200r not selling well - neither did the 1200s but wished I'd bought one - another stunning looking bike

Aaaaw, trip down memory lane.

My first boxer, beloved R1150R. 120.000km in in 5 years.

This is in Portugal, younger and tired me:

The Boxercup, Italy Val d'Orcia, on the way back to London:

Same exact place, last March, with Metropolis2k, while bringing back my 1200GS Adv from Italy to London after some mechanical whoes. :D

Last summer going to France:

Then I gave the Boxercup away (to Metropolis2k) and these are the puppies now:

...and a collection of wanker pictures with three of them... haven't managed to bring the GS to a track... yet.

I still have the R1150R... just... she's not in a good shape.
