Could we be getting third option for a 1200GS?

Maybe this?

So if any of you ever thought of visiting Bikers Church [ http://cmacapetown.org.za ] , then do it sometime cause things are happening there.

p.s Google translated from their GS-RALLYE.Fr website http://www.t3.fr/modules.php?name=T3_Article&sid=925&catid=307&theme=T3_GS

Last Saturday, I received a call from a Pastor George Lehman. He heard about our project GS ZULU by one of our local providers of logistics. I answer these questions avid biker and told him that we have with us a prototype of a BMW motorcycle that will be tested over 40,000 km in Africa and to serve the marketing of a limited set of GS Transcontinental in 2011 ... He rejoices at the end of the phone and asks me to spend Sunday evening service at the Church of the biker, so he and his faithful may bless our bike and our trip ...

We arrived at 6:00 p.m. on board BILL Popeye with my bike on the tray. Once the bike lying on the asphalt, so I thought the place before the entry of BIKERS CHURCH, George insists that I lead inside the church ... It's not the kind of tuc need to tell me twice ... I mount Bill and I go in the middle of the faithful to position our prototype at the altar ... Surreal. The result is not less ...

For 2 hours, nearly 400 South Africans bikers will celebrate their weekly service at a rate of RocknRolla music, with the blessing as the endpoint of our proto KM Transcontinental, our African trip and our participants. Pastor George asked me to explain our project and here I am, 10 minutes during, pastor of bikers, to spread the good news: we drive BMW GS, the most extraordinary of bikes to travel! ... I tell them a few anecdotes, and the room heats as fast as a boxer in the Simpson Desert.

William with my lads, Tom Didier, we look without really knowing what to say. This reception is memorable. Faith is complete. A bit excessive for us Europeans, but that 's how it works here. I can not imagine a priest of the Ardeche eg jeans being faithful to his lecture the group Telephone, The Stones ... Incredible! ...

Our prototype has received the blessing of 400 motorcyclists fundamentally righteous. If with this we do not our travels 40,000 km of testing in Africa without a hitch, there is something fishy ...

If you come once in Cape Town by motorbike (Jean Louis, if ca tell you ..) go for a ride by Kenvil road north from Cape Town to discover this unusual Bikers Church ...

Alleluia!
