Duh... You have to guess mine.


I guess I just wasn't feeling creative the day I signed up but I always thought straitforward names made sense.

Actually I didn't see that CF can on the Laser site. The HotCam there was silver and short and stubby, like on the BoxerCup Bike. The closest thing I've found to the one in the pic above was the CF Leo Vincent without the sticker. Anyone know if that's it? They only have one distributor in the U.S. ...

Great pictures. You guys either have some great lense filters or the U.S. has a real pollution problem. Those Downunder and Canadian skies are a beautiful blue unlike many I've seen lately.

New2, I know exactly what you mean. I had the unplanned luxury of being able to keep my RR after getting the KR. The roadster was in the shop for a couple weeks waiting some misordered parts from Germany so I had a steady diet of Beast over that time. I swapped them out yesterday so the KR could hav...

Thanks guys. That's a good point. They have another KR at my local dealer and I'll refer him to the salesman that sold me mine.

Interesting discussion. As a nonjudgmental aside, Do you think many of these kind of conversations take place on a Harley forum? Kelvin is the probably the guy with the pink doorag. Absolute Zero is the latest drink in the biker bar. And Boyle is the thing on your butt from sitting on the barstool. ...

Frank,

I enjoy your sense of humor. When I lay on the sarcasm I get nasty looks from wife and blank stares from most. I guess it works much better on line. Or is it just a BMW rider thing?

I've had the BMW Airflow jacket and the Savanna Suit for five years which I alternate summer/winter. They have served me very well and have held up great. Thank goodness they haven't been subjected to the crash test but I think they are indestructable. Can't say about the Atlantis but expect your ex...

Okay DJ, after that testimonial you may end up having to sending me a case. I have never seen good ol' Mr. Sheen in the U.S. We have a product called Mr. Clean that is for kitchens and stuff but not the same.

New2,

Congrats. You can have title to "the Beast" moniker. I am happy with my KR, so why am I drooling over the MT-01? Just an incorrigible wondering eye I guess. Enjoy!

Love letter from a KR stalker.

I came out of work tonight to find a sheet of pink tablet paper rolled up an wedged in my handlebars. Here's the note: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hi!

Thanks for the pics utzguy. I think it's pretty much of a toss up between the rakish otherworldly screen and the sport screen. The next big question for me is the can. The one on the first link looks just like what I'm looking for. I don't see it on any of the Wunderlich thumbnails on the other link...

I think they are identical, so unless your wallet is a glutton for punishment I wouldn't spring for the CF. The tinted plastic looks pretty good.

Mike, Generally I am not a fan of windscreens. I don't use the GIVI I had on my RR, preferring strait and uniform airflow. My brother has the large BMW screen on his RR, which to me makes the ride less involving than I like. I sleep naked too, but that's probably more information than you need to an...
