Thanks Charlotte, depending on who comes along for the ride, will determine which direction I ride home on Sunday. Friday is pretty much already planned, but Sunday is still open.

CarLost,
See you in the mountains tomorrow

Can't ride all weekend, but maybe I can make it all the way up there before heading back to NC.

Interesting talks about new rides- The Uly's still got a loot of life left in her, but eventually will need a new ride, and the bikes you guys are talking about are on my list.

If anyone's after a BMW, I've got a friend that works at the dealership in Greensboro who'd be a great guy to talk with- Had a Uly before he got his GSA- just way out of my price range. Heather did like the $22k GSA he had her sitting on though...

Planning on heading out from here at 1pm and will be slabbing it up to make it to the ridge by 5pm. I have everything in the living room and need to pack the bike. I will definitely look like an ADV rider. We have two service guys coming this morning so I have to wait for them before I can hit the road.

Prior, yeah I hate to start talking about it, but I want to do a cross-country run one day like you and Ferris, and it will not be on a Buell. The barn will still have Buells though, the M2 and Blast are not going anywhere. It will be spring '13 at the earliest before I am ready to put money down but there are a lot of good bikes in the market and need to figure out, type, make and model. I've been looking from Adventure Sport Bike, through Sport-Sport Touring to pure touring.

Im really lovin the looks of the 12, but the 800 has a soft spot in my heart! Someone also just pointed out the TranSport which is the 800 in a new dualsport setup!!! My father had an ST, loved the power but hatedthe bike. He taught me how to ride and never in my life seen him drop a bike till the st. Extremely top heavy at parking lot speeds. Luckily Honda knew this and fitted it with cheap impact parts

Jim, me 'n D used to have a matching pair of '98 VFR's. Excellent machines. Fastest motorcycle I've ever ridden (154 by speedo), refined like a Swiss watch. A teeny little bit cramped ergo-wise for me (particularly for my tired old knees), but that's purely a personal opinion. Wasn't a good two-up bike for any kind of serious touring, although we took it to Laguna two-up and loaded one year and it did fine, just a little bit cramped with us and our gear. Nothing sounds like a gear-drive V4 on the boil. : D

I remember reading that somewhere! I have actually owned two of the 750's, 83 RAN and an 86your pearl white, hence the soft spot I mentioned. The new 12 is nice but I haunt seen what the luggage looks like. The hardbags for the 6th gen series I believe are some of the best looking luggage for any bike. The shop I bought my Z from has an 07 with 3 miles on it, yes THREE miles, it was a museum bike. Full luggage set in the Honda red color. For the price its hard to pass up, but I've gotten so use to the big bore grunt!!!

I'm digging the pic Spike. My younger daughter has a pink dirt bike DOT helmet.

Whatever - Got to see a bike like that in WV. Nice bike. I was thinking the G650 for Kristi, but she says she likes her Blast for now.

Spike,
Sent this to a co-worker who is in the market for a starter something. He's been looking at VStroms, but this might be up his alley too. I shot you a PM as well with a few additional questions.

Certainly looks like a clean bike (especially compared to my Uly)

Spike,
Friend from work is really after a VStrom, another friend is really interested in your bike as a 'starter', but lacks the requisite licensure to make that happen. He's doing the MSF dealie in a few weeks to get legal, if it's still around then, we'll schedule a visit.

I stopped by the British show in Durham, but they made us move our bikes so we went for a ride instead. Just snuck back in. Hopefully no one will object to my British Yamaha.

Well then, don't call me when my phone is in my car and I'm inside the pizza joint picking up my supper (and the next day's lunch and supper).

It is more essential for a man to eat than to talk on the phone,

Yes, Carlos. So is Michael and our crazy friend Frank...

However, I need to get my speedometer fixed before then!!!

I was thinking of joining you guys. I have the day off and see there are available seats. My front brake is pulsating and would love to replace the rotor with a EBR rotor, but not in the cards. I could take the Blast, but I really want to do the course on the Uly. I guess I need to make up my mind and figure out where I will stay Thursday night. I could ride in that morning, but kinda a long distance to cover before 8am, traffic and all.

I just got back from a trip to Chicago on the Vstrom. I love that bike, but I do hate the chain. I understand why people do chain conversions on Buells, but I would never do it to mine.
