  1. First real ride on the BMW this weekend. I haven't liked a bike this much...maybe ever
  2. Got out for about 350 miles yesterday for the first real ride on the BMW R1200R. It is an amazing motorcycle, and perfect for a long trip.
  3. So far, possessing information that could incriminate the Clintons has cost more American lives than COVID-19
  4. I've never thought really strong initial bite was a benefit on a street bike. I've gone with less aggressive front pads on several bikes. I'd rather modulate the brake as needed and not upset the chassis. Probably less of a concern with a full suite of electronics.
  5. This or certain pads like Lyndall Gold's will clean rotars.
  6. There are already billions of bars of soap. Wash your damn hands.
  7. If I was over 70 and/or had an already compromised immune system I would be more concerned, and would plan accordingly. This seems like viral Darwinism. I am 0% concerned about the breakdown of society or availability of necessities. There will be treatments for those that have it and vaccines for prevention in the next 3-6 months. I expect the actual virus to be keep popping up in local outbreaks for the next 12-18 months. The bottom line is that the survival rate for healtly people with access to medical care is 99%.

  9. If I still had a suitable bike...

    Ride 2/23

    I rode about 150 miles yesterday. The roads were a little dirty and beat up, but the BMW is a fantastic motorcycle.

    I'm a decent golfer. But I choose not to.

    Ride 2/23

    I'll be riding tomorrow but just for a few hours. Maybe grab lunch and head home.
  13. I've always liked the 1st Gen goldwing gl1000. Specifically original naked versions. They are reliable and powerful for their day....but carbs...
  14. There a few that I've considered buying, but then common sense kicks in and I talk myself out of it. Is it worthwhile to own a cool classic bike from the 60s, 70s, or 80s?...or is it too much of a PITA to deal with carbs, old electrics, and leaky for seals?
  15. Lots of gravel roads NW of Coshocton. Most of the small roads north of 36 & on either side of 60 are gravel and relatively remote.
  16. I've ridden about 75% of the TOT. It's mostly gravel with a bit of dirt. It's a good route to learn to ride in gravel. Only a couple sections are challenging.
  17. Most successful thread jack ever? What gap trip?
  18. Score 1 for Paul...apparently 1 for Jim, too.
