Re: Traded her in

Sold my 03 R to my son so it is still in the family. It’s his only mode of transportation besides a rental car. He has a beautiful 2007 Ducati ST 3 in my garage but he likes the R for urban riding. The R now resides in a parking garage in Hoboken, NJ. I’ve added a 2009 R1200GS and have restored a 71...

Re: My R of 13 yrs has a new owner. And me a 2005 RT.

Wayne, congrats on your new RT. Years ago I rented a 2005 RT out of Las Vegas for 3 days and it was a wonderful ride. Top speed in the desert was 124 mph! You will enjoy it. I have always loved the looks of the RT. Good choice. I still enjoy riding my 2003 R and use it for bombing the local backroad...

Long range weather looks great! 70’s and sunny. We will be getting there a day later on Friday instead of Thursday. Looking forward to this. Mike, did you do anything about T-shirts?

Re: BEAKSTER BASH XV LaVale, Md May 16-20, 2018

Looks like it was a bit of luck that I couldn’t attend this years Bash. On Tuesday we had tornados in the area and a macro burst that took out thousands of trees and power in CT and NY. I’ve been on a generator since then and power will be restored sometime later this week. I would have canceled due...

Re: Improving 2004 R1150R: AF-XIED vs ReCyclizer, +1200 injectors

I don’t remember exactly what setting I have on it, I think I tried different settings and left it on the recommended setting it came with. I’ll look when I shovel a path to my shed or the snow melts.

Re: Improving 2004 R1150R: AF-XIED vs ReCyclizer, +1200 injectors

I have a 2003 R with 114,000 miles, and installed the AF-XIED 3 years ago. It improved how the bike ran. The engine feels smother, more power in lower rpm’s and feels better all around. The occasional pinging has been reduced in warmer weather. Mileage is down slightly. The bike runs noticeably bett...

Thanks for setting up this years bash. Don't know if my schedule will work out for this year. TBD. Looks like it's a good area to ride. How close is a Dairy Queen?

Re: Beakster Bash Lexington VA May 18 - 22, 2017

Looks like I won't make it there tonight, Thursday. I have a slight electrical problem with the bike. All the lights go on and off intermittently. Just ask Mike. We passed each other and stopped with him last night in PA on the way down and he pointed out that I had a problem. All lights, headlight,...

Mike, if Applebee's is walkable, I think that might be a better choice for Saturday nights dinner. I'll make a reservation for the group.

Thanks Doc for the suggestion to have everyone bring some swag to raffle off at Saturday nights get together. Check with your local bike dealers and see if any of them would be willing to donate something, t-shirts, gear or a bike would be nice. If you have something around that is interesting, brin...

Looking at the snow we got yesterday in Connecticut got me thinking of how nice it's going to be to get riding again and take a trip down to Lexington for some great riding. Haven't seen much activity about who is going. We all know that every year the Beakster Bash is a great excuse to go ride some...
