Re: 2015 Bash Location
I recall Wayne mentioning it. I didn't know if western VA was made "official." Looking forward to seeing y'all next spring.

Re: R1200 Water Cooled
I used to own an '02 R1150R and now ride a '14 RT. I can tell you the Wasserboxer is a huge leap forward compared to the R259 oilhead that powered my R. The very same engine in a lighter Roadster is going to give the '15 R tremendous acceleration. The 620 lbs. RT already does the 1/4 mile right arou...

Re: The new R1200RT, an amazing Sport Tourer
I finally got the new shock under the recall program. I put 700 miles on the bike from the issuance of the recall until the bike went in for surgery. Aside from this unfortunate experience (being told to not ride your bike by the manufacturer two months after you buy a motorcycle is not cool), the b...

Re: Hungry Mother 2014 is August 15-17
I was hoping to join y'all, but my new RT is under a recall to replace the Dynamic ESA rear shock. Marzocchi evidently spec'd the shock piston shaft walls too thinly. So while I still commute locally, I'm suppose to be grounded - which means I won't take a longer trip. So I'll see y'all next spring ...

Re: The new R1200RT, an amazing Sport Tourer
I've certainly enjoyed mine up until a week ago, when I received notice from my dealer that the rear ESA damping unit is being recalled. So I haven't ridden for a week and am experiencing withdraw symptoms (like going out to the garage every hour to sit on the bike). The Wasserboxer is a substantial...

Re: 2014 Bash - May 16-18, 2014 - Mt. Airy, NC
I just arrived home about a half hour ago. Worked a day in Blacksburg before taking off just before 5 in the afternoon to beat the traffic out of the 'burg. Had a great time. Again, it was great reconnecting with y'all. The R1200RT and the Wasserboxer transported me a little over a thousand miles sp...

Re: 2014 Bash - May 16-18, 2014 - Mt. Airy, NC
Sorry to hear about your tire Steve. Timing could not have been worse. Hope you're able to find an alternative to having to wait until Tuesday. As Vann noted in his post, I rode 421 once I left Boone and hit "The Snake." Very similar to Deal's Gap except it has two curvy sections with more...

Re: 2014 Bash - May 16-18, 2014 - Mt. Airy, NC
Anyone have any idea of what's happening Friday the 16th? I'm planning to depart from my house in Northern VA fairly early to ride down the BRP to Mt. Airy late Friday afternoon. Not sure I'll be able to arrive significantly ahead of dinnertime to get in riding with anyone, so my plan is to get toge...

Thanks Mac. Just finished making reservations and cleared the weekend with my wife. See y'all there! P.s. - put me down for the Saturday evening Italian food.

Re: 2014 Bash - May 16-18, 2014 - Mt. Airy, NC
Hey Vann - yes indeed, it is me. Bought a RT last week. Getting back into the boxer fold. The new bike is a blast - seriously faster than my old R I'm trying to work this trip out in my schedule.

Re: A sad farewell to one of the forums founder members...
Returning to the board after a several year hiatus. I just read of MikeCam's disappearance and Pat's passing. Sad news to read. RIP Pat, it was a hoot reading your input to this board.

Re: Mike Camellitti (MikeCam) is MISSING in WV Forest
Crap - I met Mike during an early Bash. He mailed me a battery tender several years back. Did they ever find him?

Re: 2014 Bash - May 16-18, 2014 - Mt. Airy, NC
Seriously thinking about this... My wife finally used the butt paste I won during one of the early Bashes on one of our babies. She laughed when I told her where I had gotten it.
