new-to-me '19 R1250GSA

[Grumpy Goat]

I came up 300 miles short in Iowa City. I walked into hotel lobby with a trail of water behind me. I have one piece Aerostich which is actually very waterproof if properly sealed.

The spray from the 18-wheelers was overwhelming, literally. Some how the spray started coming off my helmet, down my neck. I couldn't have gotten any wetter if someone stuck a garden hose down the top of my Aerostich. I had an inch of water in my waterproof Goretex boots.

I have huge pics from my phone, but it's a 2019 R1250GS Adventure HP model with low suspension (same as my '18). Bike came with all three BMW black aluminum cases and Nav VI. Left sellers driveway with 2700 miles on her.

Nice story, Bruce. Sounds like your wet weather setup needs a strom collar - see my video here https://youtu.be/EDo12hJv0cw. I also rode through heavy rain with this and it definitely kept the rain out from going down my Klim suit - video here https://youtu.be/0A5zsY_N0gM.

Bruce - if you like you can email me the photos and I will size them and put them up for you. I am sure all would like to see what you got.
