Group Ride gone bad.

Nothing on Snopes. Perhaps someone should send them the link to check it out?

If I weren't dead, my back and knees would feel like I wish I was

You'd be surprised at how comfy that bike really is....

Even in a series, that's nothing for someone who is good at Photoshop... The leather jacket should fold around the concrete wall. The bold black differentiation in the various leather jackets is enough to see that different pics were chopped in. One further up appeared to be a reversal of one of the closer shots...

It's a very good photoshop, but not so good that you can't look closely and tell...

Nope, still disagree.. bike jackets don't normally fold like a regular leather jacket does.. if it is armored and padded it will be a big lump.. and looking at the shadows, the smoke.. along the jersey barrier, the bodies sliding into the picture.. I believe it's real.
I think you are looking for something that's not really there..

I agree with the ugly.. but they kinda grow on you.. NOBODY will confuse your bike for anything else.. and like they say.. it may be ugly, but you have to ride one to see it's real beauty!
I went to Mortons last week-end.. HUGE showroom (at least for a BMW dealership) and a lot more new and used bikes to chose from.. and Bob's isn't real good at keeping their website up to date.

Dayum if I'd seen this 1100GS, I probably would have gone up there and gotten it. and it's an abs bike
Been to Morton's, very nice showroom

I saw it when they first put it up, if I had known you were interested I would have said something!!

It's been online for while.. more then a month anyways. Was surprised it lasted that long.

I've experimented a little bit with my ABS.. works GREAT. I'ts integrated, the foot brake operates only the back tire, but the front brake grabs both front and back, and pre-determines how much force to apply to each by how much weight is on the bike.. Stops on a dime!!! it's servo assisted, so very little force on the hand lever.

it's not out yet.
Kawi's have always been at the top of the speed heap. It was only a matter of time before corporate pride got them back on top even though you know the market for this bike will be somewhat limited.
I'vw always liked Kawis, have owned 3.

I thought the clutchless shifter on this was a useless innovation.

I would like to ride a K 1200 LT

Take ride out to Bobs or Mortons, they'll let you take one out..

I won't take anyomre bikes out on test rides until I want to buy another one.. I'm kinda fond of the OilHeads, so probably be looking for the R1200RT, instead of the K LT

 

[itsbob]

Mines an R bike, not a total touring machine like the LT or RT, but if you want to take one for a ride you'd be welcome to come try it ou!

Mortons is having their Oktoberfest celebration tomorrow.
Live oom-pah music from the Graham Green Band!

Bob's is tomorrow too, thought I was going to go to Morton's, but now there's a tech day in Bel Air too.. May not do any of them, but will try to make it to Mortons.. kinda liked that place when I stopped in..

They have a white R1100GS on the showroom floor (Mortons).. it has 50k on it, but I know the guy that just traded it in.. a VERY well cared for bike. LOTS of extras.. I think they wanted 8500 for it. Fully outfitted with Jessie Bags, Ohlins Shock, new front shock, new final drive etc..

and by the way I'm selling a 2004 busa........

BMW has a GREEAT 650 in three different styles.. this year they come out with an 800 twin.. a parallel twin not the normal BMW jugs..


i wouldn't be me if I didn't come in and chime in about Beemers!!

Kawasloppy is coming out for 06 with a Ninja 650 which has a parallel twin. I believe to replace the EX500 varient. Looks like the SV650 has some competition. Price should be comparible if not cheaper. I'd prefer the naked bike which is in Europe only, but the full fairing looks nice too.
