Heidi: Ale's Bike

Hallo! this is Heidi: my Bmw.
She is a R 1200 Gs year 2007: I bought it in march 2008, and till now I drove about 26.000 km with her.
Most of the trips were in Trentino, exept some quick 2-3 days trip in Croatia, Suisse, Germany, Austria and Bosnia (and of course in Italy)!
I'm really happy with Heidi: she's very powerfull, confortable and allows me to easily transport huge amount of junkie with her large bags set.... tand has really amazing suspensions!
Mostly I use it on asphalt roads, but sometimes I also drive her on some funny white roads, even if has too long first gear, and for that reason I am thinking to do a little modification...

The VFR

Today VFR is back her home in Bozen and now I stay alone with the GS.

VFR was my first bike. I traveled with her nearly 10,000 km through the Alps.
Goodbye VFR, you will remain forever in my heart....
