Well the BMW is 90% for sure dead. Insurance inspector called to set appointment for tomorrow. So I called BMW to get a drop off and rental time. They won't look at it even for the initial inspection till 3rd week in January. No way the insurance company is paying $14,000 rental on a...

Teslas have murdered 2 motorcyclists in the past 6 months that I know of. Straight up full speed rammed into the back of them because the self driving didn't see them. One in CA and one in UT.

@Sierra1 and I were talking accidents involving motorcycles. Not single vehicle "I did dumb and out rode my skill level". Single vehicle stuff for sure would have to be speed into corners. Number two would probably be speed into inanimate objects. Sure there are a billion cases of dropping...

Left turners #1?

Funny you say that. I just had the tire shop put new rubber on it 2 days beforehand. So if anything comes from "preexisting" they take pictures before working on anything, had them email them to me. For once being lazy and not changing them myself pays off!!

Thanks, me too! No need for anything fancy. Someone might know more than me, but as long as you can see I was in a lane and not moving over on someone or whatever, didn't cut them off, didn't brake check them, that sort of thing. Suggestion, keep quiet about it if in an accident let your...

So Saturday was fun.... Driving down the freeway in the left most regular travel lane 3pm full sunlight. Accident in the HOV lane (cones, 3 troopers, lots of flashing lights etc). I slow to allow a 2-3 car gap for the person in front of me in the HOV to slide over. They do, but then they...

Absolutely agree. I normally spend a week in a place before moving on. I spent 3 near Rapid City. I put well over 3500 miles on the bikes. So many great roads either high speed or low speed curves as you wish. If I'm still traveling next year, will 100% spend a month.

It has been one of my favorite things so far 5 months into this trip. I've gone back twice since the initial visit just to look at it again.

I will say I am absolutely in love with the bike. 1.5 weeks of ownership and 2000 miles. Everything from 300 mile 100+ mph run 2 days in a row, to technical jeep trails at 0mph. This engine is amazing. Quick shifting is something I didn't think I would like but absolutely do. Cruise control...

I got a puig off of amazon and its about 4 inches taller than stock. It's "fine" Not in love with it. Its more down to angle at this point not height. I locked the adjustability of the BMW part with some zip ties. Again fine, but I was spoiled on the S10 as far as wind. I'm almost sure I...

Yeah this factory window is next to useless. Up to 60 its not great but acceptable. Anything north of 100 MPH its absolute trash, horrible, ridden naked bikes that handled air better. 110mph on the S10 with the tall factory windscreen I could open my modular helmet and take a drink. Above 65...

Down the road I wouldn't hesitate to hop on another S10. And my pocketbook sure wishes there had been one for sale too.... hah!

What @Strummer said. Moving from the 1200 down to a 650. I've owned 2 Versys. Absolutely wonderful bikes. If I could have a two bike stable, It would be a big bike and a versys without hesitation.

Yeah I would have been happy with another S10. Nothing in the area other than a couple of GS's a Pan American and a FJ09. Couple of wee stroms/versys but..... i think the lack of power wouldn't do it for me anymore
