I was actually being serious for once...and they look awesome.

Sounds nice...I need to take a vid on the beemer

I'll be up there again at some point this year.

You have the foaminator for that

Bike cover on sale on Amazon today...no idea of the quality etc but if I didn't already have a cover I'd order one. https://www.amazon.com/XYZCTEM-Season-Waterproof-Motorcycle-Lockholes/dp/B0142IHKX0

thanks! The motherfucker broke the sound on my PC (had to fuck with drivers for a half hour) and now I have a mystery "Unknown USB device" that shows up in the hardware manager but is unidentifiable - it literally says "Device Descriptor Request Failed" so now my UEFI takes a full minute to load before even attempting to load Windows because it talks to Windows and sees a problem. I've unplugged every USB device but it persists which would leave me to believe it's one of the USB ports on the board though they all work fine (the board is <6 months old) and are all accounted for already in the device manager. So, I say Windows is fucked, not my hardware.

Non-Walking Dead fans probably won't get this...

I rode some solo last year after getting some guidance from @bowdog earlier in the day and I didn't have any issues. There are some times where there are blind corners and/or hill crests but I stopped and listened prior to making a run at them. There's a system of hand signals to let oncoming riders know how many more are behind them (# of fingers = # of riders yet to come IIRC) and people were pretty consistent about doing so which was tremendously helpful.

Nice. Now, If he can find a way to take out that sideshow clown running N Korea, that'd really be something.

Those are the BMW "M" colors and other then shades of gray, it's the only color combos they offered (there were several different designs but this was the most subtle). Had I known I was going to do this, I would have chosen the rim stripes that have the same colors but it all more or less goes together. I have adjustable rear sets en route and then I'm DONE.

I was a set..they had 4 or 5 variations. This was one of the cleaner ones.

Added some decals today...should add a few more horsepower.

I somewhat disagree...I'm 6'2" but I only have a 30" inseam which means I'm long in the torso (and maybe other places, but I digress ) with shorter legs. My Tenere was tall and when I had the RDL seat on it, I was on my toes most times. On the SXR, I can easily flatfoot no problem so adding a higher seat wouldn't be an issue either. I'd say at below 28" inseam you might consider lowering it.

When you ride it and wet yourself you're going to have to pay to have it cleaned.

For an MSRP $19k bike with $6k in extras that's broken in and already has the first service paid for. Sounds like a deal to me.

Would be a perfect fly and ride and you could make a side trip to Aerostitch while you're there

Mine delivers today...I'm going to spend some quality time in the dark with it

No, not mine - but if anyone is interested in following me down the dark side this is a heck of a deal... https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/mcy/6075490926.html

As a scuba diver, I was interested in getting a pair of quick dry swimming trunks for when I go on dive trips. I ordered from Frank Anthony Swimwear on Feb 28th, received order confirmation and my cc was billed but I have yet to receive any product or communication about my order. I've sent numerous email inquiries and inquiries through their "contact us" message system on their site but have received nothing from them but advertising emails. They have no phone number or address on their site. I was going to try to fight it through my cc company but in order to do so the charge has to be >$50 and this was not so no recourse there. Apparently they started as a kickstarter campaign and Ive found numerous complaints about them online. I should've checked them out BEFORE ordering - live and learn. So, I'm doing the only think I can - spreading the word that they are a piece of shit company that will essentially steal from you.

A pic of your girlfriend? Yep. She looks like my mistress with less more stitches.

and where's the TTIWWP emoticon?

^^^That's why everyone loves that show...people falling and getting knocked down in spectacular ways. BTW, my wife says I'm evil for laughing at the jogger lady.

I have 4 cars, 2 motorcycles, 2 bicycles, a trailer, and an ATV at the house. I'd say I'm not overdoing it with 6 gauges (I try to keep one on each vehicle).

I certainly wasn't laughing at her size...I applaud her for getting out and exercising. She just didn't look very graceful and that was before the fall. Also, there are certain clothes some people should not wear. I know my limits. I guess some have neither friend nor mirror.

On my way home today about 5 blocks from my house and I looked over at this girl jogging with her dog. She was not what I would call fit, but wasn't really fat either - she looked a bit awkward running as if it was somewhat new to her. She was wearing yoga pants (leggings-whatever) and probably should've made a different wardrobe decision (really it's immaterial but sets the scene). As I'm looking at her thinking this, she trips and takes a header onto the sidewalk. Not trip, stumble, fall...it was trip, BAM! Lucky for her the dog stopped when she fell or it may have dragged her a bit. I immediately started laughing and I watched in my mirror as she got herself upright so she didn't appear to have done any major damage so I continued on. The question is - am I an evil person for laughing or is it just inherently funny when someone falls? Oh, and no, she didn't know I was laughing, my windows were up and she couldn't see me with her face in the concrete. Had I been back just a little further, I totally would've captured it on my dash cam.
