Congrats on the new bike Ian!

Now you can ride with http://www.bmwmocm.com/ .

Alas as a non BMW owner, I can not ride with them unless I get references from two BMW owners...

Ray, you can have my spot.  I'm not much of a joiner.

You can't ride with me, unless you change out them mirrors for something you cant use to see behind you  :D

Looks like a damn fine machine, I'm jealous!

Sweet bike, Ian!  You don't much care for ordinary bikes, do you?  (The SV was apparently an anomaly.)

Ordinary is highly overrated.

Would't you agree (riding your old Ninja 250 at DCTC and owning a BMW police bike!)?

Actually, I bought both of those bikes mostly because I thought they were cheap, and the Ninja is a pretty common bike, just not at DCTC.

Are you familiar with the rule that you must buy a Goldwing or LT when you get grey pubes?  That is just how it is.  I didn't make the rule  ;D

Are you aware of the fact that most people don't look at their own pubes?!  I'd rather pluck them out one by one.

My wife wanted a gold wing for the arm rests, I told her to learn to ride, then she could buy whatever she wanted! ;D

Wise man right there.  I went on one bike trip with my wife, then I sent her to the MSF to get her license and learn to ride her own bike.
