I guess the intended audience for that cartoon is not retired internet security experts...

Cute, but that does not meet the definition of 2 factor authentication. It is two smells, the same type of authentication. 2FA has to be two different types of authentication. Even if it is facial recognition and smell it is still just in factor.... something you are.

Sold. Picked up the new bike. #3 of 325.

I think everyone is referring to how ugly your foot skeleton looks up close. #notfappable

It's interesting, everyone says that, including my mom the nurse. But it's actually just a hairline fracture and there is no displacement of the bones.

Strange things are afoot...

That doesn’t look good. 😬

If you put a tide pod in it does it make it a washing machine or a teenager?

Just passed 40k on my R1200R and it's been flawless. It's a little lighter and a little quicker steering than the RS. I recently added a German Market Speed Pro exhaust. It saved about 10lbs,has a nice raspy sound, and smoothed power delivery especially at lower rpm.

I installed a Carplay/Android Auto upgrade kit in my 10 year old Acura MDX. It was a relatively easy upgrade once I figured out how to remove the trim on half of the dash and fish a microphone wire from the overhead console and down the A-pillar. So far, this Chinese made kit is meeting all my expectations.

It is if I put an espresso pod in it. 😆

That's not an espresso machine.

No, thanks. I have the uglier, slightly less cool, F650GS model... and it's paid for!!

Actually, it is. Damn thing costs 8600 bucks and they only made 80 of them.

....drink, dammit, drink....

Ain't no reason to drive coffee unless it's strong enough to dissolve the stir straw!

Just a heads up. My previous RS (2016) that was totaled by a distracted driver in 2022 had the "polymer/composite" ??? guards on the cylinder heads when i went down....prolly 35-40 MPH. The impact with the street and subsequent slide destroyed those and the cylinder head! I have no clue if the Wunderlich crash bars will do any better job but be aware that the molded guards won't stand up to much abuse. Presumably OK in a tip-over situation or maybe slow-speed crash.

You laugh, but I will only drink that espresso if the press was made from an old Boxer engine. I like my espresso w/ a little extra sludge.

I agree on the analog tachometer. The R shares its dash with the RS. The RT has analog speedo and tach. I also agree about short-shifting. I don't run more the 6-7k when I am really pushing my pace. It's not necessary, and the 1250 is even better. It's faster and more refined at the same time. The power delivery surprised me on Sunday's ride. I think BMW did a great job with this engine. I didn't care for the dash on the 1200, but I never really looked at it when riding other than a quick speed check coming into a town or neighborhood. I try to be respectful to the locals as long as they're not in front of me in a car. The exhaust is a SC Project in titanium and it is not quiet. Louder than the Akrapovic I had on my black 1200. The engine guards are BMW. These were installed when I bought it. I have only installed the windscreen and handlebar. All else is from the previous owner. I think the 1200 engine spoilers are better looking than what I have, but all the other upgrades outshine that preference. The TFT is awesome, updated front end w/ LED headlights, auto-preload/sag adjustment so Jim can shut the fuck up about it already, ABS Pro, better quick shifter compared to pre-2017 boxers, and the engine is night and day. The 1200 isn't slow by any means, but the 1250 is really impressive for a boxer. I thought I could live with just the RT, but I'm excited to be back on the RS. The RT is great in the corners, but lacks that something extra it needs to be exciting. Both scratch the itch, but the RS is the better time. Especially this generation RS. I now know that if I had to live with one bike, it would be the RS and Amanda would be retired from pillion.
