Riding the BMW R1200GS Adventure - and comparing it to the Kawasaki Concours 14
There are a few motorcycles that have always been "itching" me. The itch to test them, ride them, run them through their paces - as much as I could anyways without actually owning them - best completed through "test rides" I got in contact with Tyler, one of the sales reps at Moon Motorsports in Monticello. Since it's only 200 Miles to Monticello, MN and Moon Motors is the closest "local" BMW dealership, the path was pre determined. A quick phone call ahead, a quick chat later and Tyler confirmed that there are 2 BMW R1200GS Adventures on hand, one of them ready to be taken out for a test ride.

Quo Vadis? (images to http://adrenalinc.com/trip-reports.html)
Every once in a while, it’s not you why chooses the path of travel, but the weather gods above you.
Starting with a hearty 90 minute delay, Fargo was left behind the rear wheel, the front wheel pointed at Bismarck, ND. For the majority, it was an uneventful ride. What else to expect? After all, the landscape was provided by North Dakota. Flatlands as far as the eye can see, we just don’t believe in putting a lot of hills, mountains or trees in place, in order not to obstruct your view.

Coming in from Utah, via Grand Junction where a new GPS was taken on board, we entered the great state of Colorado. I understand why John Denver wrote "Rocky Mountain High" You can catch the YouTube Video Here It's setting a great stage to read the rest of this report, just let it run in the background. :)

Coyote v Road Runner
Finally departing from our cozy hotel in Montana, we're headed towards Wyoming. Montana was rather uneventful, we avoided Yellowstone, upon being informed that the mountain pass just opened yesterday and there's still potential for snow on the road. My gut reaction was "So what?? It's Yellowstone and I want to ride it, no matter what!"
There's a (small) chance that I'll never grow up. After some serious talking to, a.k.a "WE ARE NOT RIDING THAT!", there was a swift process of overruled and shut down. The tame route it is...and my report about MT is appropriately short.
