But that's BS. They only had the 3 tourmaster bags with a pop up tent on it.

The 05-06 GS's had a lot of rear shock failures all around. The 05-06-07 had a lot of quirky issues, some of which were inherited with the 08-09 and some were fixed.

04 was the LWR bike, the 1150. 05 was the first year for the 1200. Different bikes.

OIC... well I hope they get their old bikes back for the next one. I throughly enjoyed the series. TNX. It makes me want to run the entire US coast... It would be epic!!

They will probably get the next gen bike for the next one. 2010 is suppose to have a new boxer 1250 or 1300.

Dunno... from the rumors I read... they were supposed to be shooting LW UP this year... coming from South Africa to California and maybe up to Alaska.

I hope they finish up in AK... they really cut out a lot in LWR when they hit AK. and they'll have Death Vally, Yosemite, 101, Red Woods, Crater Lake, Mt Hood, The Oregon Coast, Mt St. Hellens, Banif National Park, all on their way after Leaving Mexico...

maybe not as historic for humans as the bone church or the astronomical clock they kept forgetting the name of... or the Roman ruins they had on LWD.. but it's natural beauty...

My friend bought a Suzuki 650 V-Strom, same color as your GS. Nice bike, but the best thing he also got was a DVD on dual/sport riding techniques by these guys: http://dualsportriding.com/. I thought it was excellent.
