So I am coming back from work.
Taffic is heavy, I want to stay ahead of it.
Light turns green and I accelerate........
Into the A I R !! !! !!
I have never done that, I did not mean to do that.
My old two saprk would lift a few inches every now and again.
This thing was going up, and I mean way up.
I was surprized; scared, proud.....
I dont even mind the suspension anymore, one helmet, comfort.
I love my new ride more than the old one which had cans and
ohlins......
I will still get cans and ohlins for this one tho....
But I already love my new ride!!!

:lol: scared the hell out of me the first time I did it on the R. This bike comes up easier than my K1200R did. The KR was PLANTED...almost to a fault. If you POP into second you see sky.

Ya'll need to grow up. Me, I just celebrated the 26th anniversary of my 29th birthday. And 29 is a nice, grown-up age to be.

Air time is nonexistent on a R1150R with a fat boy on board. But I might get the R1200R for, say, the 31st anniversary of my 29th birthday. I'll bet wheelies would be a great substitute for extra fiber in my diet.

Iam I allowed to say that An unintentional wheelie like that would most likely help ME sh!t.?
