It’s Thursday. I’m in the office, working through my list, looking over my calendar, and I realize that my last meeting coming up is in the next town up the freeway at our other office. A little gleam opens up in my mind’s eye.
If you have a K1200S, K1200R, or K1300S/R with the original red incandescent tail-light, you can now update it to a nice LED unit with a retrofit kit direct from BMW.

Yesterday I rode from the bay area to southern Oregon with a couple of friends, a roughly ten-hour day that took us through what seemed like every type of weather we could find. I took far too few photos, but here’s the tale anyway!
Ara, aka BeemerChef, and his dog Spirit, have a wonderful site called “The Oasis of my Soul“, a motorcycle travel journal with heavy doses of photography and food thrown in. I’ve been enjoying it for some time now, so I’m adding his feed to the new site here.
