People are always nice in these places. If I'd not forgotten to put the stand down before I picked it up, I'd have managed. Didn't want it fall over on the otherside, nore did I want to put the bike back down🤦‍♂️🤣 Thank you good samaritan!

Wow! That SOS really worked a treat. No such option in the states I'm afraid. Of course, helps to speak a bit of German. I'd be yelling, "Ich verstehe nicht, sprichst du Englisch?" Of course, they probably would.

It was on hill hold manual i hadnt realised it was on and when i went to pull away i stalled the engine my left foot was on peg and road fell away to my left oh dear down i went only a few items damaged my sw motec bars save all bodywork. The gsa is different in 5 months of ownership i never used the hill hold had gsa 4 months now and i have used hill hold in manual mode from day one the fact is the gs takes more to stall it it pulls the braje iff no worries

I've never dropped a bike. 🤥🤥🤥. 😉. The last biker I saw drop his bike was in the dealers car park after he'd just paid for it!!! It was a Ducati 💰💰💰 Crash protection is expensive until you drop the bike when it instantly pays for itself. BMW SOS would be pointless in the UK as currently it takes 3 hours for an ambulance to turn up!

As we are going Swiss Alps in July roughly same time of the year you did this tour what’s the temperature like at the top of the passes. Was thinking of taking just my mesh jacket and Oxford waterproof to put over top if it gets cooler, heard a few reports it can be high 20’s down low but can drop to 10 degrees up top.

As you indicated on three occasions, dodgy overtake/missing a speed camera/sleepy bike, all suggest your biker grey cells are fading. Is senility creeping in, altitude sickness or lack of strong coffee mit strudel? I think you were just on a paid sponsored vlog to show off BMW's emergency call centre - worked a treat. Anyway, glad you're OK and still going to be compos mentis for a few more videos. Ride safe(r)

I had one identical to yours i got it new in april 22 i put 3.5k on it and then traded it in in sept for my gsa te rallye. The xr is top heavy. I found a number of issues pegs in the way of feet going down buzzy engine lack of low end pull. Burned well through roadtec 01 rear tyre it was under 3mm after 3.5k gsa is a better bike

I understand your issues, but none of them have ever bothered me if I'm honest. Will see how long it is before I get an adventure bike👍😜

@@thelikeablerider8800 pal i didnt mean to be cheeky. They are still a great bike the engine sounds rough at idle but i think thats just bm contrating in performance rather than smooth idle. I rode it all over scittish islands through torrential rain and hail and with my daughter on pillion. And it was like a mgic carpet ride. I toppled off at a steep junction but my sos never called me which is strange. The mpg is good for a il4 but the gs is mad its 55mpg on twisties and mid 69s cruising. I found also i needed alot of throttle imput to get a shift on but a guy on ebay did a tune on one from a hand held tuning thing and you know the high idle when cold that was gone it just sat low idle just smooth and the throttle respinse was instant so all that can be tuned out. But for £18000 it probably could be sorted before you get it. The gsa te has so many systems on it man its even got eco ride mode i think its got 7 ride modes. I still kind of miss the smooth 4 sometimes but the gs and gsa are legends. Ride safe pal i may do europe in may hopefully gonna do spandau factory tour

@@austinmatthews347 they do sound knackered at idle, I'll get the that one, Cam chain tensioner sorts that, but once you give it some they sound amazing. I'll probably keep mine for another season, and then think about going full adventure bike👍

@@thelikeablerider8800 isn’t it the same with all of us? The perfect bike doesn’t exist. And yet when we get rid of our old bikes we start to miss them. What’s your favorite candidate at the moment? Myself I was looking closely at the S1000R, not the newer shift cam version as if I’m honest I’m not even close to using all that power on the road and I’m not in track days. I’m currently on an MT09 and love it to bits but the problem with this bike is that it doesn’t like to be ridden slow. It just wants to go. Slow speed riding is unpleasant as it isn’t as smooth as an inline 4. If I’m riding with friends who like to ride at a sightseeing pace I struggle, and it’s sometimes pleasant to just pootle along. I’m told the Beemer can do both. Your bike has basically the same engine but different ergos. Any thoughts on what I said?

@@stephenspiteri_zunkus I can't say I miss any bike tbh, there aren't any bad bikes these days tbh. Thinking of going full adventure bike at some point, I've really enjoyed the odd track day but touring and crunching the miles is 90% of my riding, and as I get older doing that in comfort is more appealing these days.

Probably because I've never had one and maybe something I'd like to try. I enjoyed Spain very much with a mixture of on and off road riding, but will see. I'll be keeping the XR for a while longer for sure. It's still just an idea bouncing around in my noggin, once I've had a strong coffee, and slapped myself in the face, I'll probably think differently🤣
