ScubaCinci

Training partners are good motivation. I've been sick for over a week so haven't been to the gym or doing any form of exercise. Haven't been eating real clean either (being sick requires comfort food). I go to the Dr tomorrow for my annual physical so we'll see what they say. I'll prolly have to get my oil checked

I'm all hooked up now!

If you haven't seen it before (I didn't until today), Sena has a remote that works with a number of their BT communicators. I have been personally struggling with where to put the remote that came with my 10U unit and this is a better alternative IMO. There's just not a lot of room on my grips on the SXR to put the original remote because of the built in jog dial interface on the clutch side grip of the bike. https://www.sena.com/product/rc3/ Maybe it's been out a while but I didn't see anything posted on here about it.

I have sliders rather than crash bars...I hope to never have to make use of them. Gravel like that is scary. And yeah, the motor on this thing is pretty insane. I can't imagine the RR.

Need stickier tires than that for the trailer, silly!

I broke down and ordered a set of T30 EVOs

In the snow no less It's finally warming up and I'm sick

I've got all of 30 miles on them so can't really say.

This is the vid I told you about Tim

Tim, did you buy them from RMATV (per the OP) or Bridgestone? My SXR came with Bridgestone T30's I think.

If you're in Cincinnati, check out Cadre Cycle in Blue Ash. They've done great work for me and are an honest shop. Good bunch of guys.

It's the SH48 top case. I didn't know the expandable existed or I would've gotten that...pretty cool!

The weather was nice enough to take some proper pics outdoors... Shad hasn't been too kind to me. I ordered the side cases with the white accents and they sent black, didn't sent the soft inner bags I ordered and didn't send me the right mount kit for the top case (they got the white accent right though). I threw a little BMW roundel on each The side case is simply sitting on the rack because of the mount kit being MIA. When they shipped, the only notification I got was "one or more of your items has shipped". I emailed them Monday and didn't hear back. I called them Thursday (I had to leave a message) and they called me back and said the soft bags and the mount kit are on backorder and they'll get back to me with an ETA. He didn't have any answer about the white side case pieces. So far, they haven't gotten back with me. The entire order on their site shows "processing". Not too impressed with their support but the hardware looks great. The parts I'm still waiting on...most coming from overseas so no ETA for several: BMW HP Sport Seat CF piece for the front top of the tank (where the ignition is) Puig Levers (red/blue) Akra slip on (yeah, I couldn't resist) Larger rear hugger Rizoma fork sliders Rizoma camshaft cover The remaining parts for my luggage Radiator/oil cooler guards Some other decals (same company that does the rim tape) As soon as the BMW Motorrad Nav VI is available to buy (any day now) I'll be getting that too. It ties into the bike's systems and shows things like engine temp, etc on the GPS dashboard display. Like this:

...and I put the rim stripes on tonight. Starting to come together.

Jesus...an A* men's small jacket, he must be tiny...or 12. Nice stuff though

There's a forum specific to the bike in the US but the admin is MIA (not logged in since Jan 20th) and no one can get approved to participate on the forum so I went ahead and started my own... http://s1000xroa.com/forum/index.php I think I have everything ironed out except the mobile theme.

Parts are starting to come in...decided to do blue accents with the red. Goes with the logo. Got some of the guards, new windscreen, CF tank piece, tank pads, spools, and some other bits. Waiting on the top case mount, new seat, rad guard, and a few other things I'm forgetting about. Now if the damn weather will clear.

Believe it or not, Shad makes the BMW ones too. I got the luggage but waiting on the topcase mounting hardware (backorder) and the white trim pieces for the side cases (I got no explanation for that one). The black looks pretty good though. I'm still wearing my Yamaha jacket! It's really warm I picked mine up in Wooster OH but there's a shop around Cbus and one in Indy.

That's a reasonable goal

I have Draggin' jeans...have tried the under liner. Seems like it would be hot? Competition Accessories is having a sale on the Slider pants. Never owned them so can't vouch for fit, quality, or durability. http://www.compacc.com/sliders-pants

No, the Bohn armor will not stand up to much abrasion and are meant to be worn under gear that is. But, it's light, cool, and keeps the armor where it should be. I have the upper and lower body pieces. They aren't cheap but they are well made and are comfortable. I *think* when I ordered they gave me a coupon (sure, after I bought everything) so if a few people are interested, have one order one piece and then use the coupon for everything else and share the savings.

I wear Bohn armor underneath...like spandex with armor built in. I like it because the armor stays out unlike over pants where they float around.

First bike mod

For sure. This might be one of the first bikes I don't immediately throw a can on. It actually sounds nice and will be heard near and far when you get on it. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need a seat though A lot of people said they are very comfy...it isn't bad but I can feel some pressure spots. I like that you sit "in" it like a saddle though...a lot like the Multistrada.
