You know you're a 950 owner when…

your buddy rides over on the new 2010 990 r and that new 1200GS you just bought 2 days ago, is already traded for a 950 and with a loss of 2g blue book and the GS hasnt even arrived yet!! damn im gonna miss that 5 minute bmw oil change though!!!

...you set aside 2 HOURS for an oil change and it takes you that long JUST TO GET THE F$(&!NG HB CRASH BARS BACK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know you're a 9x0 Adventure rider when...


you've got the t-shirt

Nice!

. . you just spent an hour reading this thread, and can relate to every one of the comments, and can't wait for Sunday to get on beast.

Your husband buys you a 950, but you still wear the BMW t-shirt that he bought you last year so he doesnt feel to bad about his GS.

"Yeah yeah, they handle like a battle ship - see you at the other end of the twisties Hun."

(my laptop was confiscated for that last bit)

You just put a terraflex tyre on, and you find out your wheelie days are gone, but your sexy-I'm-hard driftin corners like hollywood, phase is here.

ya just get a new set of panniers fitted and on my way home home from the shop, people ask how far are you going and where have ya been and thats a fantastic looking bike.. ....YEA BABY LIVING THE DREAM...

...... When you've bought more bling and daren't tell the missus and have it delivered to a fellow inmates' house

You are on the hard pack and a man in a Toyota truck ask me if I knew that my bike would throw rocks over 50 feet. I said, you never got that close to me and he said it must throw them over 50 feet then.

#1 - an oil change costs $60 when you do it yourself and you have a reuseable oil filter.

#2 - You don't care about the cost of an oil change because evertime you ride it you have a hugh grin

#3 - When you get that look of confusion when you roll past someone on a dirtbike that sounds like a Ducati sport bike

When sports bike riders are humped up like a dog having a shite with there knees round the back of there ears and your thrashing past them on a back road in total upright comfort .

Yeeeaaaaaaah! That's my favourite

When you order new tires, both for the dirt wheels and the supermoto wheels and you can't decide which ones you're going to mount up first. All you really know is that every piece of rubber in your garage is shot.

You purchase a used one from a friend wanting to sell cheap, ride it once and sell your Dakar, ride it again and sell your 1200GS.
And the bad news is you once were a BMW dealer. :huh

You spend more time and money on the 950 than your wife.

You totally enjoy changing the oil........ Kinda like 2.5 hour therapy.

AMEN TO THAT !!!!!!!!

you take out the SUV keys when you have to change the LC8's tyres. cos the SOB stock scorpions need a 2ton SUV to break the bead (I couldn't use the side stand trick (which i normally do) cos i had removed both wheels already).
