I love this BMW advertisement,

Justin, as Aida said, the NCHP takes excellent care of their bikes, and trades them in before they're all worn out.
Aida, sounds like we need to plan on having Justin ride up to Willville with us some weekend soon.  

Or, Justin, if you can wait, you could hit the Gathering of the Clans June 12-14, http://www.highcountrymotorcyclecamp.com/ , or even the BMW National in Johnson City, TN, July 16-19. You'd be just about heading thru there on the trip home anyway.  8-)

C'mon Justin - we need ya to help stimulate our economy before the guv'mint in your state decides to secede from the Union !!

I've thought of getting one of these bikes, too - but the way that my business is going lately, I'm going to have to set my expectations and aspirations much lower for awhile..

Steve, that's a great idea!  After Justin picks up his new bike, we can take him up to Willville where he can really get a good feel for the way the bike handles!  

Don't really want him to wait until June, though...but it would be great to have him at the rally with all the other folks.  You know, with this new bike, he should be able to make the trip back in a breeze!  

So what date can we expect to see you, Justin? [smiley=evil.gif]

I'll call ya tomorrow...

My conversion to the "Dark Side" has begun as I called Aïda yesterday and put a deposit down on one of these RTPs.    Something in the back of my mind kept whispering, "It is your destiny..."

The oilheads aren't a bad machine - just misunderstood !

Actually, of all the oilheads, I think that I'd like an R1200C Montauk the most, but the whole revenue stream has become a trickle at the moment, so that isn't going to happen for me at this time!

Enjoy it if you got it, Justin, 'cuz sure as hell our government won't use it any more wisely if they get their hungry fingers on your money!

[Justin B.]

Well, I don't really have IT just hoping I can peddle a couple of my "spares" before I need IT again!  I'll probably have at least one R100 on the block...  :-/

Maybe you should consider riding your '95 RT back East and find some kind soul who would unburden you of that problem and give her a fine new home.

Then you could pick up your new RT-P, hopefully spend a few days riding in the area, then cruise on back to TX with a clear conscious and a pocket full of $$$, relatively speaking of course. [smiley=laugh.gif]

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control, I'll be shipping the new bike back here.

[msbuck]

Yes, but with a trip out to the "Dragon" in the future, right?  

[Justin B.]

Yes, Suraklyn said he had been wanting to do it for a while...

Theresa and I flew to Charlotte last week to visit her son's family.  They live in Mooresville and we had a chance to drive around quite a bit.  We're planning on riding to the rally in July but after driving around all the fine roads in the western part of N.C. I'm thinking we should blow off the rally and just spend a full week riding the area.  We rode in New Mexico and Colorado two years back but I think that NC may have that beat by a long shot.  I really can't wait to get back again.  We'll probably ride the Dragon just so we can say that we did, and correct me if I'm wrong but there seem to be so many fine two lane roads there.
