TOAK, The Thread of All Knowledge Part XIII
I have no idea what you are talking about. But any chance you can get your BMW back?
Personally I would enjoy buying a bike like that and making it look better.

Since you have chartered that course, did you try out the K1600 B? The raw horsepower was intoxicating in my opinion.

Re-Morning Russ, Greg, Moldie, Bill, Markus, Bob.
Still trying to figure out what the quality of today's endeavors will be.

Morning Markus!
I didn't even want to try the B. I knew I would get drawn in by the power, but I wanted to avoid the complexity. I've been a boxer guy (shorts and bikes!) for a long while so it was like going home.
And I'll tell you what - that RT is more than fast enough for me. That bike gets up to triple digit speeds like that and you have no idea because it does it so effortlessly. The problem occurs when it comes time to avoid running into things. I've had to readjust my sight lines (I'm not kidding) when I accelerate. I used to look "X" far ahead when getting on it on the SGS. When I first ran through the gears on the BMW I nearly pounded myself into a car at the end of the highway entrance ramp that I did not account for in my "X" equation. I was going 110 and it felt like 70. I need to recalibrate.
Hahaha - nah, for my type of riding and being out here in no-mans-land for dealer support, the Fugly ultimately fits me well. Among other things I did eventually miss the heartbeat of the HD V Twin.

Take the windshield off, that'll recalibrate you.
Re-Morning, Woods......
Bob, great bike. Good Luck with it. Oh...100% asymmetrical Krusteaz pancakes made with milk and egg for breakfast.
