Can BMW provide me with a duplicate key based on my bike's VIN or something? or is that a myth?

(Bronson pulls up on his bike to a light, guy in a car looks wistfully at him and says) Guy: Where you headed? Bronson: oh, i don't know, wherever i end up i guess. Guy: (after ...

Thx SJ...well i'm new at this stuff...but got 1 photo up...i think...a little town, population 4 i think called Nothing, Az...115 miles from Phoenix...hot there too...lady said the place was closed, but i HAD to have some water...told her i'd pay a buck for a bottle...she like that and gave me my bo...

But, I'm living a dream...99% would like to do the long ride someday...but only a few do it...i'm FINALLY doing it. Started out in hell, 115 degrees in Phoenix...and left in the afternoon when it's th...

Nice shots... looks aLOT like Ky...even the deer and dam.

Is it ok to lay your legs on top of the heads on your r1150r while long touring? No harm to any part of the bike?

THx

well, the river card was a diamond...there were 4 diamonds on the board... i looked down and saw i had the 5 of diamonds...he and i both looked at his 2 sixes, and both were black...woo hooooo... Felt bad for the guy, he has me, set over set, then runner runner, it was an awful suckout...never the l...

close...he had pocket 6's...so he had me at the flop, trip 6's agin my trip 5's...turn came the Q diamonds...there were now 3 dimonds on the board...

:shock: Been riding about 2 weeks now on this great R1150R...and something verrrry strange is happening...HD riders are waving. Strange. They never waved at me on my KLR650. Anyone have any explanations?!? :? Took her down to the Indian Res. yesterday to play a little Tx Hold'em, NL...this thing mus...

i agree, definately BLACK. Aim wasn't to destroy confidence, but so you wouldn't do what i did...tip - when coming to a stop, be very aware and get that left leg out ready to support the bike, be READY each time for it to start going left, and brace yourself...after getting into this habit, she may ...

I just got the same bike man and love it! May be the last bike i ever get. Congrats! One suggestion...i hadn't ridden since my 20's, then got the fever again in my 40's...i'm glad it wasn't THIS bike first...it was another, but point is... i dropped the bike about 6-7 times before i got used to it.....

One reason to OCCASIONALLY use the kill switch is so you'll automatically know HOW to use it in an emergency, and to know where it is, and just to THINK of it in an emergency. I used key for many years, never using the kill switch...then one day on the 650GS i went down and couldn't get to the key.....

Great photos, Thanks. Feel like i've been down under now.

The big pot? Used for cooking crocodile stew?

The animal? i didn't know ya'll had llamas down there.

What a great ride!

Nice shot...that looks like Wyoming.
