I must say that life without a V Twin is a frightening prospect.

Like they say......any more that two wheels is a waste.
The same can be said about cylinders!

Speaking of 2 cylinders.....

Damn! They've declared my beloved GS a total loss!

So now I have to wait and see how the insurance company treats me on the bike's value. I want to buy her back as salvage, maybe fix her up for the kid, but I also want to replace her with a new one. Hope they don't screw me too bad on the value.

Kind of caught me off guard. I didn't think the damage was that bad and, talking with the BMW mechanic that put together the estimate, it appears to be all cosmetic..... just expensive cosmetics.

I'll probably have a bike for sale soon to help offset the ultra high cost of replacing the GS. Not sure which one yet. Stay tuned.

Cheers!

Ron

Bikes are often written off just for the plastics.
The factories are just gouging us for replacement body work!
That’s why it’s so easy (and cheap) to find a good late model 600 for a track bike.
Just add race body and lets go play.

How’s the mending coming along Ron?

Stay positive Ron.

Buy the G-tanker back and make a streetfighter hack out of it. I rode a hack in the 90's and they're much safer in the rain than two wheels. I'd have kept the outfit I had but I got tired of replacing the chain every 1500 miles. Shaft drive is the only way to go.

My X1 has been sold. Very mixed emotions. Though the look on the guys face when I fired it up was pretty funny. He said he underestimated how loud it was going to be even though I let him know. So, I will be bringing the Speedy across the border next week and have already ordered a new muffler. Looking forward to doing more riding and less worrying about what's going to go wrong. Still, I'm going to miss the Buell.

Someday we will all find one again.

Galen, Joe - Consider yourselves lucky boys!

It could have been worse.... or so Deb tells me.

There were some VERY evil people there and I'm not sure how I survived, but somehow I did..... barely.... I think.

Well the 1125R's fuel didn't go bad and the battery didn't drain while waiting for my broken ass to heal enough to get back on 'er! Got her out for a little hooligan fun this afternoon and now I have a much better attitude because of it. Damn this bike has some get up and go to her! Woohoo - broken bones be damned!

Cheers all,
Ron

I stopped by Bobs today Ron. You did have fun A ? .

For Christs sake man take it easy !! Dontcha know you got a broken back !!??

I took Bob's Speed Triple around the block. First thing it did was try to pop a wheelie on me. It wasnt warmed up and the choke might have still been on. Them two stroke's will do that sometimes.Sometime's it's just the powerband being out of adjustment. I parked it , too spooky for me.

Joe, thank you, I laughed out loud!

I had one of my moments today. Made a left turn. While I was leaned over I came into a patch of bb sized gravel. I thought to myself, 'opps. I may be going over this time... this may hurt...' Then the front started to wash and I thought there was no use trying anything, I was going down. But I kept my eyes open (Debbie knows), and then the front caught and Betty attempted to high-side me. I held onto the handlebars as my legs went flying up to shoulder height and I came off the seat. And I'll be damned if I didn't end up back in the saddle puttin' down the street like nothing happened at all. I felt like Valentino R., even tho I was only going 20. Good stuff!

SPLASH countdown to fun

That's such a rush isn't it? Glad you kept Betty purdy.

Have fun at SPLASH and don't let Sportyeric pu$$y out on the group.

Oh Bib... where is you? No word has been heard since you got your Dark British Demon. You gots to give at least a little report on the trouble you've been in so far. An anxious public awaits your response.
