Attention all Rush fans.

Post by DJ Downunder »

Most Rush fans will know that the drummer Neil Peart rides a BMW 1200GS.

A good friend that knows I'm a huge Rush fan just sent me this link to an interesting story..with great pictures.

I'm sure all Rush fans will love this.. http://www.bmwbmw.org/bmwforums/viewtopic.php?t=8693

Which one is Niel Peart in this pic.. :D

That's one of the members of my local BMW club, BMWBMW. Good group of people. I read that writeup a little while ago and was amazed by how far it spread on the internet - to motorcycle AND Rush fan sites!

Thanks for the link to this story - I've been a huge Rush fan for many years and have also read Neal's books Ghost rider and Roadshow - I highly recommend the reading.

How great! This is the story of a lifetime. Congratulations!

God d!mn did I go to a lot of RUSH concerts in the 80s and 90s!

"Grace Under Pressure" and "Moving Pictures" were favorites of mine.
