function is beauty quote edited for simplicity. Indeed. I agree. If I have another person tell me "not a fan of how those two engine heads sticking out looks" I might just snap. lol really? no....seriously...I mean it....REALLY? How is that even a conversation you bring up to someone? I m...

The Dragon ....

Mike, Glad you are OK. At least you know WHEN to hang it up and it did not result in permanent damage or even death. Probably time to go out and look at convertibles, at least they will give you somewhat of the same feel with the top down! I wish you all the best and teaching does help keep you youn...

Here's another artists impression: Both of these photoshop jobs that we have seen look better than the factory concept bike to my eyes. I especially like the orange one. http://www.autoevolution.com/news/2014-bmw-r1200r-concept-by-nicolas-petit-68858.html I sort of like the all black one. Also like...

Your humble moderator will be LOST for the next week or better riding The Tour of Idaho http://www.motorcyclejazz.com/TID.htm.

His last known location was hanging out at my place as follows:

Just ordered the 'R' model. It delivers Friday so I can test it on a Sunday ride of several hours. Good thing to test before starting the trip! Angel - I have never taken pain killer to get through the day. Am looking for better comfort than that :lol: Normally I dont either. My back was killing me...

Have used an airhawk for prior trips and it worked out fine. For my last 5K+ trip over 8 days (rode 7 of those days and averaged 750+ miles/day), I just toughed it out. Surprisingly, my butt/bike seat became "one" and was not sore after the 3rd day - in fact, stopped taking Aleve after the...

This is truly where my statistical background saw me through. That's a brilliant way to describe you experience! Good to see you out and a bout'. Awesome. Did 5k+ in 7 days, out and about indeed!! :D No garage queen here, LOL! BTW, preferred the h*ll raiser (NC 28) in western NC & NC 421 outsid...

At the crossing of nowhere going somewhere.:D This pic was taken after a long 6 hour ride across the Oklahoma panhandle in one of the worst torrential storms I have experienced with lightening everywhere (and yes Virginia, there was no place to take shelter). This is truly where my statistical backg...

See the other thread. One word, KRIEGA.

I use Kriega. They are IMNSHO, some of the best gear out there. They survived a 5K+ trip recently with NO, absolutely, NO complaints. I will not be purchasing hard cases for my R, as the Kriega are wonderful! http://www.kriega.us/

Exactly why I purchased my Dark White a few months ago, although, love the NineT.

Lost NineT Nach Maß Gemacht! :mrgreen: http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-wXx7rx8/2/XL/i-wXx7rx8-XL.jpg http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-NFW4Mbh/1/XL/i-NFW4Mbh-XL.jpg http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-DCWMGfn/1/XL/i-DCWMGfn-XL.jpg http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-FPC4zzb/2/XL/i-FPC4zzb-XL.jpg http://www.s...

Vernal! They say Hwy 50 in Nv is the loneliest road in America, but it does not hold a candle to US 40 between Vernal and Craig, Co. There is nothing that can hold on freshly poured tar snakes, ie before they "dry." Amen, brother, amen! Rode US60 (across MO), US64 (across the OK panhandle...

Glad you like 'em; my experience also. As I have said, if I were buying today, I wouldn't even research. I did like the scorpion "trails" a little better, but I am splitting hairs, and the GTs get far better mileage. I am talking about the second generation Scorpion Trails. Just watch out...

Putting Angel GT's on the bike tomorrow ... will let you know how well they ride. The ones that came with the bike (Bridgestone's (?)) have worked well, but lots of cupping after 4k miles, however, were fairly effective when I ran the Dragon yesterday. :D Angel GTs mounted a few hours ago, now with...

Guys, make sure you ride 421 from Bristol, TN to Boone, NC and back. Just did this ride a few days ago, and it was FABULOUS!!!!
