My wife and I might be interested in something like that. We've been here about eight months, so we're still not real familiar with the area.

It could mean someone with magic charm, or perhaps it's a head with a spell on it...silly BMW lingo.
Now for more enlightment, my F650 is considered a "single banger". That does not mean she goes looking for other singles to bang into...no, no, no. She has but one lung, aka a single cylinder. She belongs in the group called the chain gang (not to get confused with those people in striped suits busting rocks at the side of the road in true Paul Newman/HUD style.)

It's called a hexhead because BMW made the head shaped like a hexagon on the new 1200s. It's still an oilhead though.:D

Here's the old one and the new one.

How'd you draw on that hexhead Phil? I need to be able to do that too.
Thank you for the information -- I was also wondering why y'all called it a hexhead, but hey, I wasn't gonna ask.

May I suggest Highfalls BBQ about 1 mile east of I-75 exit 198 on the left. GPS coordinates for EXIT 198 are N33 09.983 W84 02.427. Curiously this exit about splits the difference between Macon and Atlanta. Might be a good place for the North GA crowd to meet and greet the Central GA crowd (Hi Doug :) ).
I usually stop in here after a trip to South or Central GA. Gooood BBQ!
What's are the coordinates of the Hooters y'all go to in Warner Robbins?
TTFN,

Sorry. I only deal with obsolete technology. (Garmin III+ or a 176c and the old timer Mapsourse program.):o
Good luck,

I second the GPS coordinates, but cannot help with entering them. I still use a map and compass. (MS Maps and streets):(
