2 BMW F650 GS: Journizing the Throne of the Gods (Special 01)

Special 01 - The evil neighbor
Who hasn't dreamt of packing up and just leaving their daily lives behind for a while...
Sherrie, an English language teacher from Canada, and Patrick, an IT consultant from Sindelfingen, Germany, are doing just that. They are escaping their daily routines for three months by embarking on a motorcycle adventure with their two new best friends "Betty" and "Wilma" -- two BMW F650GS travel enduros.
Their destination is Mount Nemrut -- also known as the throne of the gods due to the ancient burial sites and enormous stone statues found at its tipp -- in the south east of Turkey.
Their route will bring these two adventure travellers through Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and most of Turkey, where they will no doubt encounter many exciting new adventures. On the way back they will cross through northern Greece and all of the Balkan states. Have we made you curious about what Patrick and Sherrie latest adventure?
Their stories and pictures can be found on: www.journizer.com/fernweh (Patrick's site - mostly in German) and www.journizer.com/gypsyprincess (Sherrie's site - in English).

Hi, sorry this is so late, we just randomly checked this to put into a blog entry and found your comment! We dont get the comments as they go to Journizer rather than us!

My (Sherrie) BMW is 2001 and Patricks is from 2000. I highly recommend the bikes, though Patrick would much rather ride the F 800.

The gearbox broke on his old BMW R100 GS , which is a well known problem with that bike, the gearbox bearing has problems. I have had no problems with F 650, I love my bike. :-)

"We want to see it for ourselves..." Exactly. If everyone were as openminded as you guys the world would be a better place. BTW, what year are those F650s? Do you like them? You mention a gearbox breakdown in south america in another episode...I'm thinking about getting one in the future for some touring.
