DJ, I just spent 6 days in Melbourne with my daughter. Today I take the bike in for inspection and maybe THEN I'll be able to get it registered. Melbourne is absolutely lovely and you have some first class roads to ride!

Hehe, my wife thinks they were actually turkey vultures...I prefer to think of them as slightly ugly eagles though...

DJ Downunder, I'm just a little ways from you now. As soon as I get my beakster cleared through customs and registered I'm headed down the coastal highway.

My wife and I rode 5500 miles on our 2001 BMW K1200LTC. This video is set to Bob Segar's "Roll Me Away". We rode from Dallas, Texas to the Great Smokey Mountains to ride the famous Tail of the Dragon, stopping at the Shilo, Tennessee battleground along the way. On a separate leg, we rode t...

I saw DD's post on "First Gear" and I have a follow up question on Second Gear. My RR is a 2002 model and it just turned 10k miles. I acquired the bike about three months ago and I have been riding it to work every day. I figure that by now I should be able to smoothly shift from first to ...

Hey, Sandrider--great looking bike! How's the RR handle the hot Saudi summer heat? How's the riding there? Have fun. It's sure nice you're wife rides with you. I've been slowly turning mine to the idea. Velvet Monkey, I haven't been out in the real summer heat yet. It was over 100 deg F (38 C) yest...

Hello sandrider ! I have lived in Saudi for many years and I was delighted to see this post ! Where in Saudi are you (Riyadh, Jeddah or Alkhobar I assume one of these ?!) I assume still 90 halalas a litre for petrol ! Hello John. I am in Al Khobar. My reserve light came on tonight as my wife and I ...

Great pictures...and nice looking bike...Have you seen any of those camel spiders.?.. :shock:..are they real.? DJ Oh they are real, all right. They have not been seen on camp since one was found in the horse barn a couple of years ago. Hehe, pest control on camp is pretty good. In the desert they a...

My wife and I took our bikes to breakfast this morning and decided that today was the day to take some action shots of the RR. These were taken on a street near my house in Saudi. You can tell it isn't quite summer yet because there is a bit of greenery. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/228/473417503_...

Jerusalem was succumbing to a dust storm, which is supposed to be normal. NOrmal or not, it sucked to ride in. The roads were slick, my rear tire almost slid out on me at every light and you could barely see the road ahead. My tires been sliding a bit lately since I had a puncture repaired. Maybe I...

Thanks for the welcome. I've got some pictures of the bike while it was in Texas and some from it being uncrated here Saudi. Let me get some good ones with desert background and I'll post them. By the way, although I've been in Saudi for five years I'm moving to Adelaide in September. Then I can hav...

I’ve been a member of the RR forum since November of last year. I haven’t posted before because, well, er, I haven’t had much to say up until now; it is time for me to introduce myself. I first want to say that, as I’ve read the posts over the past five months, I have com...
