Tuesday Trade In of the Week

Hey Everyone and welcome to another Trade In of the Week segment here on the San Diego BMW Motorcycles blog. Today's subject is a near PERFECT condition ABS model G650 Cross Challenge. Despite most people asking me to blog up the Ural sidehack we just had traded in I could not resist showcasing the G650X/Ch because well, I OWN one of these and simply can't say enough good things about it.

The G650X/Ch was, until recent unveiling of the BMW G450X, simply the BEST dual sport motorcycle ever built. You can do all things dual sport with these bikes. Bulletproof and proven Rotax designed 650cc single cylinder engine. Electric start and fuel injection for easy reboots after tipping over in the desert. BMW's touted air shock in the rear and Marzocchi inverted front forks up front. These bikes will do it all. They climb better than any other 650 on the market and better than a lot of 450's for that matter. Enjoy riding out to your favorite trails? No problem this bike will go 70MPH all day on the pavement (or dirt if you're brave enough). Hard luggage available, rally style fairing available, additional 5 gallon fuel tank available you can farkle these bikes into full on adventure tourers or leave em naked for the more technical stuff. First BMW to ever complete the Big Bear Trail Run? Absolutely!

A few specifics:
- 1,097 Original Miles
- Excellent Condition
- 600 Mile Service Completed
- BMW Factory Warranty until Oct 20, 2012
- ABS - Push Button On/Off
- Leo Vince slip on exhaust with approved spark arrestor (stock pipe also included)
- PLATED, STREET LEGAL DIRTBIKE!!!

New Employee Alert!

Hey everyone and welcome to another exciting addition to the San Diego BMW motorcycles blog.
Today we welcome YET ANOTHER new member to our team here at the shop. With growth comes expansion and with demand comes supply. Our stellar service department has found themselves a bit short handed at the service counter with the spring season coming in fast. Add in the fact that our sales department is sending new BMW motorcycle owners out the door faster than Apolo Ohno shredding laps on his skates (sorry....obligatory Olympics mention) and you got a genuine need for more staffing. Gary and Mike began weighing their options calculating just what kind of employee would continue our tradition of success and customer satisfaction. The answer? Another Sean DeAngelis OF COURSE! But with congress slow to approve any cloning techniques and Your's Truly not fathering any offspring in the immediate future we had to get a little creative. Without further adieu, all the way from warm tropical Cleveland Ohio, I present you the NEWEST addition to the San Diego BMW Motorcycles team:

My father, Domenico "Tony" DeAngelis


Yes Ladies and Gentlemen not since Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid has a more dynamic duo lead the charge! "What's it like working side by side with my father?" you ask. Epic! Just read some of these reactions by our staff:

- "Hey Sean, we've decided to start calling you Tony 2.0"
- "Wow, you're Dad is MUCH taller than you are."
- "So Sean, you're the oldest child? Like, the R & D phase of having kids?"
- "Does he break a lot of demo bikes too?"
- "Your father has less gray hair than you do?!?!?!?!"
