new ride

[okckeith]

Looks good Russ! I put Shad luggage on my 2016 BMW R1200RS. I really liked them.

That is a sharp looking bike. I am sure you will pile on the miles quickly. However, after 15 yrs on the ST and CTX, the sound of the V-Tech engine will echo in your subconscious mind .

"Was it the Shad?"

I was going to say... so I will... your wife can come to LOCSTOC and bring all your stuff in the new car. She's been before.

So.......buy a support vehicle...have a driver on call.....Man this bike is expensive! Russ.

Traitor ............. nice ride! Now you have to become a minimalist.

Says the guy with a BMW....If Honda had continued the ST I'd still be there......If I had test ridden the NC750X first I might still own a Honda.....Time will tell if I made the right choice....Russ.

My second bike was a 1971 750 Honda.....the sound of an inline four will stir your soul too! I'll always have a place in my heart for my V-fours(V65 Sabre and these last two bikes) Russ.

Can't figure out how to attach the fish to my bike!!?? Russ.

Going from lots of storage to no storage is a big adjustment ....Shad will probably be in my future....just have to decide on sizes and who to buy them from....Russ.

But I can't fire her if she doesn't do a good job! Russ.

You got a Cowawhaty? Do you have to ride to starbucks on that bike too?

Not that i was looking at those bikes at the dealer at the WV. RTE last summer or anything...

Fed-ex your gear to campground. That’ll help cut down on the amount of gear you take! Cost is the Mother of invention.

In 1974 (some of us can remember those days), going from Vallejo to Charleston on CB-450 for PCS orders. I sent my extra "stuff" on Greyhound. stopped at a friends house in Dallas-Fort Worth so baggage beat me to Charleston.

Is that how you work it with your BMW?

I'm trying but not getting to far

If only Honda would build a motorcycle like that and release it here.

Russ,

You need to find a Vetter Windjammer to be full retro!
