Spotted: British BMW F800 GS in Barcelona
I don't know whether this is the correct section to post this, but I am curious.
I live in the center of Barcelona and went out for a beer yesterday. A few blocks from my flat I saw a yellow F800 GS with British plates and Touratech hard cases, the owner had had the exact same idea as me and had cut and glued a bit of black foam under the padlocks to stop them banging against the pannier. BMW logo on the right side of the tank was missing.
The bike was here: http://goo.gl/maps/VnZUx
Anyway, if whoever it is needs help in BCN or wants to share a beer, drop me a PM.
And since I'm asking, about a couple of years ago, just before I found out about the existance of the HUBB, I ran across a biker in Montserrat, near Barcelona. He told me he was from Washington, and had bought his bike second hand in the UK (it had british plates as well) to ride it all the way down to South Africa. It was also an F800 GS with crash bars, Rotopax tanks attached to them and he was carrying a pair of knobbies in the back. We chatted for a while but never excanged details. If anybody here knows the guy, I'd like to get in touch and learn how the rest of his trip went.
Thanks!!
