BMW's new F450 GS: 450cc twin, 48hp, 386 lbs - finally a proper "baby GS" with real off-road chops and premium tech. Perfect goldilocks ADV?

A fabulous day up southern Eryri this afternoon. I saw nobody at all in 5 hours. But I did find an unrecorded fossilised beach!
The lake is lowering quickly - and this is a wet place. An old farmstead, once known as 'Cwm y Fedw Ddu', has emerged above the waters now.

messy shot, but I rode out to the coast this morning and got to see this Canada Coast Guard DFO boat set sail while eating my breakfast bar. Nice way to start the day. #motorcycles

Riding up to London tonight.
Any advice for keeping your bike safe in central london?
Managed to "sneak" into the pit lane at the #Zandvoort #racing circuit yesterday.
There are openings in the fence for photographers. Tried to "pull" some shots, but the bikes were doing over 200 km/h, so I mostly ended up with blurry pictures of empty race track .
Come and learn what it was like to ride The Whispering Death
Here's my #silentsunday post (even though I was at a not-so-silent photo spot again today).

Russia training to integrate motorcycles into summer offensive in Ukraine
#Russian Defense Ministry published footage of troops training ground practicing #offensive & defensive tactics on #motorcycles, indicating plans to develop "a tactical doctrine for systematic offensive motorcycle usage," ISW said
ISW says Russia may be planning to issue an increased number of motorcycles to front-line units fighting in Ukraine.
My name is Karl and this is my #introduction. I've just joined courtesy of installing #Vivaldi browser and finding a pointer to here. With everything that's going on in the world I am less inclined to be connected to Facebook, Instagram and the like, or to share my data so widely. I've reduced my exposure... Deleting other social media apps - although not *everything* yet - Starting here; Setting up a #blog at https://gentlemenjoyfully.com (that name was the random name given to my Gravatar homepage). I just liked it and thought perhaps it could inspire a way of looking at things, so I adopted it for my blog page.
I work in technical sales for #RedHat an IT #Software company, and in my spare time I like to play and sing. I play #fiddle, #guitar(s) and accordion.. though mostly fiddle. I also love #dogs, and #walking in the #countryside, and #ClassicCars and #Motorcycles. To stay #healthy I like #running, #walking and doing #yoga mostly.
Since I lost a heap of time searching for my sunglasses, I was in a hurry to reach Goondiwindi before dark and didn't take any more photos along the way.
However, the ride from Narrabri to Moree was fantastic - definitely a highlight of the trip for me. 110 km/hr, dead flat, and almost completely a straight line. You can see all around you to the horizon, with mountains on the eastern side, and cotton fields here and there. The kind of cruising I love.
When I took those photos from the Mt. Kaputar summit, I felt like they really didn't do justice to the view - so I also captured a short panning video.
This is maybe the best summit view I've personally seen - definitely the best one where I could just ride straight to the top instead of hiking.
My sunglasses fell off the bike near the summit of Mt. Kaputar. I looked for an hour, but just couldn't find them again.
I was sitting at the summit, figuring out where I could buy a new pair, when this couple from Yeppoon QLD arrived in their camper to tell me they found them! Somebody else found them first and put them on a stump that I must've walked past, but this couple saw me searching and realised the sunglasses were mine. Real lifesavers!
I received a recommendation from @MorpheusB to check out Mount Kaputar, an hour's ride east of Narrabri NSW, as I passed by.
It was well worth the visit! These photos aren't even from the summit - I'll share those soon.
The summit is accessible by road. The first 5.8 km from the base is compacted dirt with loose rocks, but the Harley took it like a champ with its street tyres. The rest is bitumen, but there are basically no guard rails the whole way.
