Default F650GS San Francisco, San Juan island, Salt spring island, Vancouver back home

Never took my BMW F650GS on long trip before.
Left San Francisco last Friday 10 hours 650 miles later made first stop Wilsonville OR. Surprised hell out of me, 650GS rode just as comfortable as my K1200RS and S. Not as fast but still rode 75 to 80 mph. High winds do knock it around little. Nice part averaged 57 MPG at that speed =)
Next day Saturday made short trip 300 miles to San Juan island. Spent few days on San Juan island, today took ferry to Victoria Canada.
Guess Canadian customs do not like F650GS bikes. Have never had any problems going into Canada before. Today they decided to use glove treatment =( At least taking bike only took 20 mins.
Leaving Victoria Thursday for Salt Spring Island, staying few miles from Ganges till 29th. Anybody local to Salt spring like to take ride? Plan on exploring island on my bike. Head back 30th to Vancouver, then home.
Should put about 3000 miles on bike =)
