I had a nice little ride on Sunday.  17 hours, 1050 miles.  For a cosmic dog.

Temp is irrelevant when there's a lack of white stuff and the sun is out.   ;D

Looks like a great day for a ride.

Have you ever tried, or seen first hand, the ones they sell on Wunderlich?  I read on ADVRider that Hippo Hands stopped production.

No, but I believe the HH owner may be seeking a buyer for the business, so there's a chance that the HH will still be produced.  :thumbsup:

I thought there was a little duck. . ..

On the ride, the yellow went to a gent in St. Louis. 

Plus, I'd heard white is the new yellow.   :willy:  :willy:  :willy:

53 degrees today. . ..

Yes, why yes it is. . ..  Just need to finalize a spot for the gerbing/warmnsafe controllers. . ..    :bigok:

You owe it to yourself to try one of these new 2015 rides. . ..  Completely different bike.   :eek:

I'm sure it'll be better than your BMG 1200GSAdv. . ..

I am so far removed from the sport now - i didn't even know what it was exactly.

Purdy and looks spendy but quite capable.

I rode 8 miles to the BMW shop this weekend for service at ~21K.

Yes - I know  -the bike had around 19K when it got on the truck for CA.

Almost 4 years ago.

$700 for oil change and new rear tire.

And a $2300 estimate for the ABS system that seems to be FUBAR.

Yea motorcycles!!!

Yea BMW's!!!!!!!!!!

With registration, insurance, maintenance and gas I'm spending at least $5/mile
