Default Added #4 to the stable this weekend

I flew out to North Carolina and picked this thing up. I didn't need it, but I did want it. LOL

Had a great trip. Got to meet Troy finally, and had dinner with Trip and his wife on Saturday evening.

To bring it home, I rode 300 miles Saturday, 900 miles on Sunday, almost all of it in sub-50 degree temps. It was a little cool! This bike is amazing. It's definitely made for the type of riding I do. =)

Now to figure out how I can have room in the garage to actually work on anything now. Dangit! haha!

That is a great looking bike. Congratulations!

Will you be semi-retiring the Busa from touring now?

I've been looking at the Kawasaki Councours....I've modified my "power cruiser" to make it more cruise oriented as my riding tastes have changed...but it's not really the right tool for the job.

I'm still thinking about it....but I may well sell the M109-R in the Spring and buy one of these.

Is that a ram air duct between the lights? When the heck did they add that?

While good, I wouldn't call that *barbeque*! You easterners are weird! LOL

I dunno what I'm gonna do yet. The R1150RT has been on my want list for a while, so I snagged it. I'll definitely keep the Busa, as there's not much of a market for a non-extended swingarm bike with 70k on it. LOL

I'll probably use it for some of the lighter touring in the neighboring states, but when I'm heading on the serious tours, the BMW will probably get the nod.
