TOAK, The Thread of All Knowledge Part XIII
A very nice ride, Mick. Felt good to be out in the sun and wind. No ride today, rain on the way.
Off to shuffle. BBL&L.

Good morning shufflers and those who burden our great system.

BMWs are okay. I like (and own) the vintage BMWs but they really don't make anything I would buy right now. The GS is a great bike but the new Pan America brings more to the table. The sport touring bikes are decent, but for less money I can get far better reliability from a Yamaha and miss nothing in the performance department. The R18 is a nightmare.
All that aside, BMW doesn't make a bike for a 5'-4" 120# woman. Not without lowering it anyway. Moto Guzzi, on the other hand, makes a bunch of bikes that are perfect for a woman. Think HD XG750 but way cooler. And they are far more reliable than many people realize.
If nothing else, you don't see Moto Guzzis that often but you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a BMW.

Good morning all. I am headed out to shoot up some clays. They are in season and I hope to bag the limit. Everyone ride safe.

Morning woods,
Road the bike into work this AM at 43* Cripes I had to stop and put my chaps on.
Coffee is on.
I haven't heard anything except Tracy has acknowledged some of my posts on FB.
