I would never want a wrangler as my primary vehicle... horrible ride, noisy on highway if you have soft top, bad gas mileage.... but as a second vehicle to play with offroad a wrangler would rock
I see a bmw from time to time that looks like the k1300r not sure what it is I guess next time I see it I will have to stop and look at it and snap some pics. I just passed the guy on it last weekend.
I still ride to work off and on and will continue until the snow flies but I do have power windscreen, heated seat & grips along with upper and lower wind deflectors so it isn't too bad.
Try some vinegar in a spray bottle every time he growls. My american bulldog was food aggressive when we first got her at 5 months because the breeder also bred bull mastiffs and the previous owner said they were basically free range dogs so she had to fight for her food she is now 130lbs and my 18lb french bulldog can walk up and eat out of the dish while she is eating and she doesn't even care. The vet was the one that suggested the vinegar and it worked for us might be worth a try.
