EgunMogaji:
Next time he is around this part I'll set up a rental bike ahead of time and we'll ride into Mexico. We were only 20 or so miles from the border.

Sounds like a plan. Will work towards it

EgunMogaji:
It was nice putting a face to a name. Lunch was fantastic.
You have a very nice family, Sir.
I'm back at my home office but I can't feel my butt

Thanks boss. Na you biko.
Sorry about the iron butt ride.

dumo1:
His BMW BIKE is nice though. I hope you both did a ride and die. Ghost Rider style

Ride and wetin?
My friend be careful......

Lunch and talk at a local Taco place and we are done.
Egbon is going back to L.A. (120mile trip)

EgunMogaji:
Biggest issue yesterday was suddenly coming up on rock falls and debris on the road.

I'm absolutely on for Saturday. I love being out on the open road.

Debris can be a biish!
Ok great suff.

oblo:
Let me park here. .. ..I sense some more coming..

Oga Shagati...I greet you.

Hello bro. Been a while

EgunMogaji:
Went out into the mountains yesterday to play. Used the opportunity to get familiar with my new tires.

What says yee Herr Dokkter Shagati, no "chicken strips" even on my behemoth.

**Very Important** New tires are extremely slippy, they need to be ridden for about 100 miles to get rid of all the sheen that can't be washed off. The heat and road action is what will do it. I did this tediously over past few weeks. This is the first aggressive banking I've done on them.

See Correct mountain roads!!
Was doing that and enjoying self on a group ride on the Oyo-Ogbomosho winding highway many years back.

All was well until you round a corner and suddenly there are two Dangote trailers one overtaking the other towards you........uphill.......approaching a bend......with 10-foot drops on either side!!!!!
Village people will lai lai give up.

Lol. Seriously now. The big beemers are very suprisingly chuckable and chicken strips are wiped off in no time.

Well done sir.
Still on for Saturday? Will you start a thread or shall I

That's the business right there!
330hp on tap

Owing you N100...................-100
Dropped N500.....................-500
Fvker gave you N500............+500
You gave fvker N400.............-400

-100-500+500-400 = -500

He lost N500 total

Another logic; He started with N600 (loan + dropped amount), and he left with N100. Loss = N500
Dasall

Jakumo:
Shagati your BMW is now a fully restored classic of sublime beauty and perfection. That paint-job is a masterwork of the auto-painter's art-form, and from the pictures shown here, I cannot spot a single flaw or blemish.

.....Your project should serve as inspiration to other automobile enthusiasts in Nigeria, who perhaps thought that only the newest and most technologically complex cars deserve to be owned by those who can afford the price-tag.

....Cruise your classic Bavarian beauty with pride, and confidence, sir. My hat is off to you for this superb project, and I speak as a die-hard Mercedes worshiper, who nonetheless knows that BMW is a MAJOR force to be reckoned with, out there on the open highway.

Thanks for the kind words dear sir.
This also serves as motivation to actually do more

Cheers Bro

dumo1:
Oga Shagati, out of curiosity, at what point in your life did your love and romance for the German BMW marque start?

Early 90s
The E38 affair was further fuelled by the first Transporter by Jason Statham and The Game by Michael Douglas.

The armoured EWB version was also a favourite of Bank MDs in the late 90s and I just loved em since then

dumo1:
1st pic iPhone, 2nd pic Samsung phone.

Very correct!

Note that there is absolutely no difference in the paint between pictures 1 & 2. Just a case of IPhone 7 vs Samsung Galaxy A3 (2015) cameras.

Guess which is which.

Luckily, body is pretty much straight as an arrow.
Couldn't wait to see what the clear rear lights looked like under all the greyness so I tore off some masking tape/paper for a peek
Wheels sandpapered again awaiting a fresher coat - The BMW WhatsApp Forum is unanimous in what colour the wheels should be
