Hello sleeping strangers. Your weekly wake-up call is rapidly approaching.

Sounds like you should get nav or Android Auto.

Swapped out the GPS for a charging cradle for my phone. No more fancy TFT integration like the GSA has on board. Time to live like the rest of the serfs. ...and Goldwings suck.

I will let you know if I am going to be there. I may be doing a weekend trip into WV on Friday and riding back on Saturday..maybe Sunday. Depends on my mood.

Left the house at 7am. Got here at 10:45. Time for BBQ and spicy pickles. 420 miles. Home by 4PM. I like the little BMW. It's zoomy.

Next challenge: A pic of your bike next to a random Harley Davidson. (Cannot be someone you know)

Jealousy is a stinky cologne.

I'd rather push my BMW than Reverse a Goldwing.

Excellent. We definitely need a "dumbass on a motorcycle in the news" thread. I want to read more of this.

Tires installed. Risers installed. Both bikes are 100% ready to ride. Time for an entire weekend of thunderstorms.

Never heard of it until just now. That black looks really good.

I could unplug a coil if you think it might help.

Hate all you want, Jim.. but I've two quick shifters and a microphone.

Tires replaced and wheels reinstalled on the GSA. 2400 miles of the Smokeys put a hurting on them. New tires came in for the RS, so they're being installed tomorrow. Had to pull the muffler to get the rear wheel off. That would suck if it took longer than 30 seconds to remove. Tomorrow's adventure will be Helibar installation. Right now it's bed time because I've been doing actual work this week and I am too tired to attempt it tonight.

Pardon me? The correct model designation is "R1200". Don't lump me in wirh those inline-four Motarrad wannabes.

Don't hate the player. Hate the superior electronics package.

333 miles. Took 93/83/78/377/550/26/800 and had breakfast at the Triple Nickel Diner. Tires are horrible. The quick shifter isn't as smooth as the GSA, but it functions. The windscreen has two positions... loud and louder. The brakes will get a fluid exchange this week because I think it's running the original fluid. They have two settings.. slightly slowing and endo, but boy do they stop that bike right now. The engine belongs in a sportbike. It's so good. Torque everywhere. Riding position isn't hateful and the seat is decently supportive for a stock pad. The suspension is without flaw, although more harsh than the GSA over bumps. I presume the lack of telelever is the culprit and I am just spoiled. The dash is meh, but easy to use once you figure out which button does what. Cruise control on a sportbike should be mandatory. I like being able to touch the ground with both feet at a stop. 10/10, would purchase again.

Meeting in Bolivar at 8am, for those interested.

Removed the pannier rack and wiped down the shiny parts. The tires appear to be original, as this only has 5200 miles on it. Ordered new Pirelli Angels for it today. Going to give it a very mild shakedown ride tomorrow due to questionable rubber and holiday police presence.
