Bahia Honda is one of my favorite places in the keys. Jumped off that bridge back in the 70's when the body was much leaner. One of the hidden treasures of the trip down US 1. Boy does that look nice. Great place to eat in Marathon just as you come over the 7mile is the Famous 7 mile grill.

Right now the only item I might add is a windshield. Now just trying to educate myself on sizing etc. I am long in the trunk and will be very important in keeping the wind blast off of my chest and face. Secondly riding gear is important to me. I have a helmet, not full mask, Not sure if I like them...

Well something like that.

Well I pulled the trigger today. Put my money down to hold the 2002.

Now how do I tell the wife?

I look forward to discussing all the topics with everyone in the months to come.

My inseam is about 30-31. I do find the leg bend somewhat tight. But I did sit on a R1200R but the peg placement is still about the same. Seat construction is slightly different. If I recall the 2002 is a two piece seat. Can I remove the rear cushion and be able to slide back an inch or two? I feel ...

I have been looking at various BMW's for the last 1/2 year. Older bikes of the K1100LT- K100 vintage. But the other day I found 2 R1150R bikes at the same dealer. I have been out of riding for 30 years. I am 6'2" and 280 lbs. Short legs and tall body. But I took the riders class by the State of...
