places to ride in ca

all of cali has awesome places. way too many to mention. nocal has tahoe. if you are in the central valley, take 198 east to west. that takes you from the sequoias to one of the twistiest roads around. from there jump on the 101 south to socal & the rock store. alot of people love the 1. for me,...

thank you

thanks for the compliments. you're awesome. to answer some questions, the beak & i parted awhile ago. as a matter of fact, the beemerboneyard gave me the r1100r grab handle in exchange for it. my bell was a carryover from my shortlived harley days. the roundels got painted over, but i ordered ne...

i totally appreciate all of the advice. i think the majority rules with not sweating it & keeping the lid. it's just that we always hear that helmets are a one drop deal. that made me think that they are super-fragile & worthless if they are so much as bumped. thank you all again & from ...

walmart america

some people feel that all beemers are overpriced. some people like to spend their hard earned cash on cheap, disposable things. i'm not one of those people. i feel that you should by the best that your money can buy. if i were in the market for a quality naked bike, that girl would be in garage righ...

swifty

that was fast & i totally appreciate it. i am going to assume that control means to torque. beige-joined service, i guess, refers to the part of the directions with the torque values on it. thanks again.

lost in translating

toner, i'm taking you up on your offer. i recently purhased some hepco-decker crash bars. the instructions are in german. i've figured out a majority of it, but not all. at the bottom of the instructions in bold with exclamation points is the following: Nach der Montage alle Verschraubungen auf fest...

good to go

your excuse works for me. when i almost traded my girl, it would have been because the rt looked comfortable on the show "feasting on asphalt". the host looked so relaxed on that bike. i try to relax on mine, but i stay occupied trying not to attract chp. i don't think i would have that pr...

resemblence

thanks to the fender & the repositioning of the oil cooler, i feel that the r1200r looks someone similar to the r1100r. a style that makes the bike look "normal".

my loading experience

my ford ranger is about the same as the tacoma. what i did was tie the front of the ramp to the tie-down holes in the rear/inside of the bed to keep the ramps from kicking out when i rode the bike into the bed. also, i thought the tailgate would give, but it didn't. however, if you don't trust it, r...

i will be more than happy to post pics if i could figure out how. my computer is about as quirky as that beak was. & for the record, i would not tell babs to get a nose job. i'm patient with women. but then, you have to be.
