Not sure if you're sure of this, but the *proper* nomenclature as I understand it is *Beemer* for the motorcycles, *Bimmer* for the cars.

Maybe the better versed BMW snobs can confirm that for me.
I have always heard cars as beemers, but the bimmer forums is a car forum. I have always hated the word beemer.

You are supposed to let him make that mistake, so then the other BMW snobs will make fun of him too.

No no. I'm banking on the hope that Trip hasn't ridden a Hayabusa yet, and would be willing to trade for a few miles so I can try out the GS.

Looked it up, you are right. Never knew that. JoshuaTree, you need to train me better.

Apparently people who call BMW cars - beemers - are wrong. Good to know.

Panzer it is.

PANZER was first choice, let's hope I get it. BEEMER/BOXMER/GEESSS made the backup list. BIMMER was taken off so I don't look like a moron to the Beemer snobs.
