Fare Thee Well...

[klrstix]

Well, circumstances, the stars and the planets aligned themselves just right for me to trade in the R1150R and pick up another bike. Really hated to let go of the BMW but my pocket book is rarely in the kind of shape to allow me to have my cake and eat it too...

I certainly wanted to tell everyone how great this board has been. (Of course, by board I mean the people behind the board handles....) My experience on the R1150R, which I consider to be exceptional, has been made possible in part by the wisdom, insights, wit and experience everyone has been willing to share. My only regret is that I have never been able to make it up to the Bash and meet the faces behind all the posts.

And because I know eventually someone will ask, I bought a brand new 2008 Kawasaki Concours 14. (What a leap right....) I am not a adrenaline junky so the raw muscle of this machine is not a real temptation for my wrist to loose control. But given that my wife is wanting to ride with me more often, I did need something a little better suited to two-up and the Concours 14 option was a very do-able option. (Rather than for example the R1200RT which would have been about $8K more...)

Anyway, just because of the generally pleasant atmosphere of this board you are likely to see me post occasionally. Otherwise be well and blessed...

My wife used to ride with me before we got married and had kids. I had a 87'K100LT and sold it to pay off her credit card debt. I tried last year to get her back on by picking up a used 02'K1200LT which she replied: "We both can't die together". It was a great bike even for one up just so heavy compered to the RT and R's. Let us see some pics!
