If ridden like that without fenders, one bump and the tyre would sand-paper my bottom in no time.

Magnificent craftsmanship though on the bike!!! Bravo!

It really flies.

Four on the clutch and Two on the brake. The 2 fingers on the brake habit developed while riding my old bike...it would die at intersections without throttle input.

Whoa! That was quick. Thanks. Otherwise, it would have sat there niggling away at the back of my mind.

did Keanu Reeves ride in Chain Reaction. Caught a clip of that movie flipping channels yesterday. It seemed like a Kawasaki KZ series....like my old bike.

Any clues?

In the sand? Like an ostrich?

Isn't there an old expression about that?????

Hmm....odd. That looks like India.

I wonder if a dash of SeaFoam to the engine oil just before the oil change helps. I added a bit to my old KZ440 when I first bought it, ran it around the block for 10 minutes and then did the oil change. I couldn't believe the muck that came out when I drained out the old oil. A couple of oil change...

Good to hear that you're recovering, Bones!

I guess the doctor is in. Sorry couldn't resist.

Btw, the nick...."Bones"....is that from Star Trek TOS or related to orthopedic surgery? Just curious.

It's a 4-stroke Paton. Italian make.

Saw a silver R1150R on W. Grandview Ave, Howell, MI today at around 4:00 PM. Was this someone from the board?

I bought mine in June 2005 at around the same price with 1300 miles on the clock. It had City cases and a Staintune pipe and was in pristine condition. That number you have, sounds fair.

Do check the latest MCN issue for pricing information . It has "suggested" prices for used bikes.

Dallara, I've got the screen sitting in my garage at the moment. I suppose it will get mounted sometime this winter and deal with the pain then. Better the screen than being beaten about by the wind on long rides. Triple digit speeds, eh? I guess that radar detector of yours doesn't give false posit...

The pdf for the 1150 appears to be incomplete and has only 95 pages. The manual I have on disk has over 300 pages.

Try the ibmwr.org marketplace.

How does this new "development" affect availability of parts for the 1150? Any ideas anyone?

Mike, Have you checked out the BMWBMW club website at http://www.bmwbmw.org/forum? That's the forum where the BMW riders of Baltimore, Maryland & Washington congregate. From the activity on that forum, I would think they have quite a few riders who commute in the DC area. They might be able to p...

Noooo......my eyes....my eyes....I can't bear to look at the Vetter.

The ST on the other hand is something to drool over.

Modre, You make some interesting points and most of them are quite accurate. Please understand that my responses below are not intended to aggravate.
