Yep. That'd be the one. I'm going to get it heated. The Sargent's have a thermostatically controlled seat controlled from the bars. I need that because my boney white arse is still riding when the temperature is low. I was riding right up until last week when we had our first major snow storm here. ...

I'm going to order a Sargent. Any comments or reasons I shouldn't?

I like the design better than the Corbin and it weighs much less. A freind has on on his V-Strom and swears by it.

P.S. I'm going balls out and getting a heated one.

I've noticed with every tire change, the bike's handling improves. Mostly because while you don't notice it, the 'worn out' tires really affect it. I've changed brands I don't know how many times, and always a new set of tires makes the bike turn in like 'never before'. Give the new tires a thousan...

Did you ever add an accessory to your motorcycle that totally changed it's character (hopefully for the better) from before you put it on? That's the experience I had yesterday riding from DePere back home to Adams after my 24000 mile service on the Beemer and having a fresh new set of Avon Storm ST...

Is it me or does it look like Robbie the Robot from the front? http://a1264.g.akamai.net/7/1264/1354/5b021f78ade70f/www.buell.com/1125R/media/downloads/pic5-1024.jpg http://www.galacticvoyager.com/mod/robbie/rrobot.jpg Dumbasses on the Buell board think a Rotax engine is like what's in a Mazda!

BMW are very proud of their ABS They are making a fortune out of its ability to scare the consumer into believing a bike cannot and should not be ridden without an ABS system whilst managing to fleece thousands of dollars in repair / maintenance costs from them to produce a unit which cannot be rep...

Isopropyl alcohol is a good non-damaging cleaner.

The wrap material is available in the Aerostitch catalog. It's made of fiberglass methinks.

Those Wehrmacht logos aren't decals. I painted them by masking the careas off and using Krylon Fusion paint.

I've had them wrapped since last year after I melted my jacket to them.

2nd weekend in September is usually the Wisconsin BMW rally in the Dells. Awesome pictures! One of the reasons I haven't gotten in to the "global touring" thing is that threr are too many really cool places right under my nose here in Wisconsin that are attainable on a day....or even after...

For several months Paul, a good friend of mine from work, and I have been planning a small tour to Northern Wisconsin. I'm a novice tourer and called a friend of the family, Rhonda, to ask if we could crash at her beautiful house on a lake at Spooner, Wisconsin for two nights. Rhonda rides an F650 a...

Black is faster though.

Oh yeah. That exhaust wrap probably adds about 30 HP and now I can dust Hayabusas (off the line anyway). Actually, I just put it on because 1. It looks badass 2. My jacket fell off from on top my tank one day an trying to get melted textile material off pipes is a bitch 3. I kept constatnly burning ...

Bike and clothes are packed...ready to go.
I'm leaving for a 3 day trip to Duluth/Superior and Iron Range country Friday Morning.

I'll take lots of pics and submit a ride report.

Thanks for the advice guys. I think I'm just going to stick with the stock 170 size.

For my next set of tires I want to use the Pirelli Scorpion Sync like are used on the Buells and MultiStrada.

The websites only list 160 and 180 size. My Roadster takes 170.

IS there any way to get the 160 to work.

I like Stone Sour, Slipknot, NIN, Three Days Grace, Staind, Hurt

Some of Ozzie's new stuff (I Don't Wanna Stop)

I haven't seen them in concert but "You Tube" GWAR regularly.

I also saw your pics on the MOA board. That's a great bike. I've wanted to take my sone fishing by motorcycle for a couple of years now and you may have just pushed me over the edge to do it.

Is that a camo seat on your bike in the last pictures?

As Jeff Foxworthy says, "You might be a redneck if . . . "

But since I am for sure a redneck, I like it!

Not redneck....Luftwaffe! Note hard case emblems.

Great pictures and report.. :smt023 ...Glad you didn't damage that beautiful bike of yours...I agree..the BMW Mystic is a nice bike..Thanks for the post. DJ That's the great thing about the Beakster. More than 10 years separates these two bikes in age and yet they still look good sitting next to ea...

I rode with Rob Himmelman's group from Oxford, Wis. If any of you guys there saw a hottie with horns on her helmet she was with our group too. Her name's Denise. Denise is pictured here with my friend Paul from work who rides a VStrom 1000 and a Hyosong 250. Today he rode the 250. I was amazed at ho...
