I sold my LT so for now I am only riding a V-Rod. It is German engineered!
I can wait til the new LT comes out.

No luxo touring?

How is the shoulder?

You got handicapped plates on that V-Rod?

Steve, whatever you do, do NOT ride a new K1200GT. They are scary alluring and will actually make you go looking for a pillion.

Mac I agree with you. They have a draw like no other BMW.

Hey Steve- how you doin ? How's the shoulder ?

I spoke to Tony K bike and Josh tonight, we leave for WY next Monday

Shoulder is better, sold the LT as I can't get on it W/O pain. I am riding my V=Rod now so life is better!
Thanks for asking!
Steve

Y'all raise a flag when you get there. I should arrive in Gillette on Thursday, putt-puttin' along on the little F650. Right now I think I'll be heading for the north 40 area to raise my big blue canopy. If you see me struggling with it, come help and you can share the shade! There's enough room under it for 3 or 4 tents.

Guys, look for us in the RV area; we'll be living in a Thule trailer that looks like this:

Hitched to one of these:


Look for my ST (NJ Plates), an '05 K1200LT (NY), and a new K1200GT (NJ).
The guy with the LT is Big Josh and the owner of the GT is Tony K-bike.

If I can dig up my "R1150R.org" Jolly Roger I'll mount it somewhere.

My cell is nine zer0 eight tw0 0ne seven nine six 0ne eight.

Tony, you think cell phones work out there?

Look for the bad ass Mercedes hauling a trailer. I wish I could make it, but I am saving my vacation days for riding in WV, VA, and NC.

Well, I sure hope so Steve - Gillette seems like a decnt size town

Jeff, bummer - we'll raise a glass for you, I promise....

Hey Steve - I'm gonna call you at home later tonight. Depending on our route and timing we may be passing through your neighborhood at about dinnertime Monday.....maybe another RAM Brewery run ??

Tony,

Nice rig. Be cautious of the 'euro-trash' label!

"RAM Brewery run ??" I wish as I will be working 7pm-7am. Hey, you can always take a tour of the H2O plant.

Hey Mike, good call. I think I'll have Josh cover the grill with Old Glory.

Maybe some H-D stickers on the Thule...

Wow - Steve I forgot you were on nights....Bummer ! PM me your cell # when you have a sec..

Tony, If I may suggest...

Decorate the tow vehicle with MADE IN Alabama stickers.

Decorate the Thule with REI stickers.

Unload the cargo under cover of darkness and set up a dual campsite next to the rig for the bikes.... create visual distance.

Probably picking nits here, but I believe the G-wagens are put together in the der Fatherland. The MLs are screwed together in 'Bama. Tony, that's a G500, right?

Mike's comment is funny but, yes, the G's are made in Germany; the other SUV's are made in Alabama....or so I've heard; I have a cousin who sells for a huge M-B dealer in Northern NJ. I really don't know too much about them; I'm more of a Bimmer guy (Dinan 3). The truck we're taking to WY belongs to Big Josh, it's a G-something with the AMG package.

And like Jeff says, it's badass.

Tony,
You guys should stop at AMA Vintage Days for a day on the way back from Gillette.
