First time excitment
« on: April 08, 2007, 05:19:05 PM »
Finally got to ride my beemer!!  Unfortunately the weather has been typical, wet.  But still managed to do 100kms yesterday and hope to double that today.

That is a nice bike, there, Shannon.
Please acknowledge the physics of the topcase.  Adjust your riding accordingly.  Don't want to see you hurt for no reason.  It might hold 24 cans of beverage, but I wouldn't want to ride it that way!  Light loads only...

You have to ride every ride to get home to that little girl of yours!

You obviously reside in a tropical rain forest, my first hint was that everything was green. I reside in a desert, with varying shades of brown . Quite refreshing looking!

Thanks for your concern Rob.  The top box is for helmet and jacket !!

Wow, would I love to go riding there.................would be totally cool. Not sure I could get the hang of riding on the other side of the road but sure willing to give it a shot. And we almost speak the same language. Think I could understand your Australian accent and you my Texas draw..........till a few beers but then who would care at that point.  I could actually use the emergency rain coat I have tucked away in the sidecar. :)

Yep.......as Winston Churchill once said, about the American and English during World War II,” We are two great Nations divided by a common language.” Well, he should have thrown the Scot's, Kiwi’s and Aussies’s in there too. Was in Scotland doing the roots thing some years back, partied with some distance cousins. We communicated fine until the forth beer.......seems their beer is much stronger than ours..........after that forth beer our common language didn’t seem to have much in common. But I did have a good time............... except for that slight headache I had for the next two days.
