Took ride to Port Renfrew west side of Vancouver island.
Picture taken on rain forest trail =) Pictures will not be best, only have my Palm Treo pro phone for pictures.
Leave in morning for Salt Spring island, hope to take few pictures if Ganges smoke high does not get to me

Good choice, once you go BMW you will not go back.
Been hard not to pull trigger on new Adventure. At this time lighter bike works better for me.
Enjoy comforts of your new bike

I had the chance to pick up that exact bike for about 3k with only about 10,000 miles on it. Was expecting our first child at the time so I had to pass. Believe me, I'm kicking myself in the ass.

After your trip report, would you mind writing a review of the bike?

Just returned home yesterday, 2451 total miles. Bike performed perfectly, no break downs, no oil use. Four major travel days, 650 miles, 500 miles, 450 miles and final day 550 miles. Comfort level was surprising, never took this bike on long trip before. Owned K1200RS and K1200S which did my long distance trips before. But could not do trails took on this trip.
Freeway speeds of 70 to 80 MPH fuel mileage ranged from high 50's to low 60's per gallon =)
Few more pictures, bike leaving Salt spring island on ferry. View from dirt trail on Mount Maxwell Salt Spring island.
Have to say one thing about Canada, they have best looking women.

Any questions feel free to ask.
