  1. hmmmm. this is where Bruce finally rides Flames??
  2. The R9T has that great DOHC motor. A friend has one and takes it to track days. Once we tightened up the rear shock, he started flying!.
  3. yep, heavy bike. Especially noticeable when pulling it up from the sidestand. Weight is down low, tho, so it doesnt bother me when in motion. And, that torque!! dang! accelerates like a much lighter bike right up to about 90 mph, then flattens out. Not that you'd want to spend much time at that speed, given the lack of a windscreen and fairings. Love looking out over the single gauge, headlight and wide bars
  4. Track day in the Mojave - Streets of Willow. Motorcycles keep you young!!
  5. the voices, they keep speaking to me. you all are just pushers and the BMW lineup is my drug! (thank dog i keep forgetting to go look at Ducatis!)
  6. jeez! what a bunch of codgers! I only have slight pain in my right shoulder. Course, Bruce will say i have an addled brain, based on my choice of bikes
  7. In countries where you dont speak the native language, it can be a great help. Same goes with unfamiliar areas when you have limited time. Sometimes it is not knowing where to research points of interest. I've taken two Edelweiss Tours, both of them well run, fun and great motorcycle roads experienced. Have also done two tours with Ride in Tours, which is a one man outfit (Laurent Dozias) who knows France inside and out, as well as a couple of other countries. Laurent has very reasonable prices and is freaking crackup to be around. Looking forward to one next year that takes me back to Spain!
  8. I think it was the promise of all that sex. He just didnt realize he was a receiver.
  9. your sissy bar and get back whip?
  10. I've a thick skin and have heard worse (should forward all Bruce's jealous comments), so i did take it as a compliment. ?
  11. Pedro must have run the last amurican elections, predjudicing the vote against my photo with that hurtful statement about Flames! ?
  12. 4th'd. Or, i bet he is fibbin. Unless its one of the Corrs. I love me some Corrs ladies! Excluding the guy (no offense to Bruce), i would definitely start at the left and work my way to the right! ?
  13. Ignore everything negative you've ever heard about Mexico. It was a ride that rivals the Alaska ride, but we had pyramids!!! And, Mayans. 12 people had said they wanted to do the ride, 3 went. i guess the other 9 believe the amurican press too much
  14. Have been at this company for so long that i get 4 weeks vacation a year. Until doing all this motorcycle traveling, i hadnt really taken advantage of it. Thanks Charlie and Ewan ? The Mexico trip was a little over two weeks. Flew into San Antonio and crossed in Laredo. Flew back from Mexico City (there is a story about being an illegal alien in Mexico i should write about some day)
  15. he also does the BDR movies, doesnt he? Maybe i will throw up some pics from our 2013 trip all the way down to Guatemala. Beautiful and fun country. (all paved, tho)
  16. i had just got used to the quiet in the office and the lack of traffic. now, all them scared nannies are back ?
