BMW R NineT Scrambler Launch

I was invited to BMW's Scrambler launch to cover the event for MCN. What an experience! BMW pulled out all the stops, and it was full luxury from beginning to end. We rode an eclectic mix of Northwest NJ's serpentine backroads, some light off roading, and then proceeded to battle rush hour New York City traffic. It was fantastic to meet so many fellow moto-journalists, some of whom I've been reading and admiring for years! Here are some pics....
