Working on the 3rd cup of coffee... almost feel human. Had to take the truck in today, something shorted out my headlights on the ride home yesterday. Been chasing an electrical gremlin on that bike for a while now, this is it's latest manifestation

Greg, I missed it. Are you considering that blue RG? My guess is they are asking a bunch of $$ for it. While not all of it is to my taste I think it could be easily changed (bars, brake caliper color, etc....) to be a pretty cool bike. I actually like that fat front tire treatment on ones I have seen in person.

It may be interesting to sit back and watch the Road-Rash level. I'd peg my final score at about 5.

Bob, I don't know how I managed this, but I've never ridden a Beemer, and only driven a 4 wheeled one once that I can remember.

I just saw it and thought I'd post it up. There's a few things I like and a bunch I don't. No chrome being one of them. The fat front tire is pretty cool. Blue on parts that should be black or chrome. Those calipers are hideous. Asking price is $22,000.

Cool weather is over today, but even if the cool spell was still going i'd have to cut back today, the past few days' activities have me sore all over, and this morning a cup of coffee feels kind of heavy for my fore arm muscles, don't know what I did to make those muscles hurt like that. Still have about $30 worth of 2x4s I paid over $100 for to bring in from the truck, just not today.

Even though I haven't pulled it anywhere yet, sure glad I got my cargo trailer when I did, wow did the price go up on that this past year. Wonder how long before I don't have any left over each month from my pension, live long enough and I know that's going to happen. One of the reasons I'm not writing a check for a new truck or motorcycle.
