Motorcycles are great

[Jarlaxle]

Wife and I did a group ride yesterday...about 400 miles, Vermont and western Mass, mostly back roads. Lots of fun, lots of nice people. I have a new scrape on my muffler.

Turned 17,000 miles on my Burgman, and 92,000 on my wife's PC.

No Harley snobs? Some won't ride with anything but a Harley or a good Japanese imitation.

Sounds like a great experience.

Do you have any comes equip on board? (BT headsets & whatnot)

We both have Sena systems...she has the SMH5-FM I used until last year. I have a new helmet (Bilt Techno modular) with integrated Sena.

I only saw a couple of Harleys. Most bikes were sport-tourers (Kawi Concours, Honda ST, or BMW RS), with some adventure bikes (Tenere, R1150GS, a couple V-Stroms) and half a dozen Goldwings. The group I was with was a ST1100 (darksided, 2-up), a 650 Strom, my Burg, my wife's PC, a BMW F800GS, and a BMW K1200LT.

One notable bike I saw was an old BMW R80GS...it was set up for long-distance touring with side panniers and top case. The boxes were covered with stickers...notably, a map of the US and Canada with the entire US and most of Canada filled in, a Key West "mile zero" sticker, a Dalton Highway-Deadhorse, Alaska sticker, a BMWMOA 200,000 mile medallion, and this license plate backer:

The bike had 280,000 miles.

True..most of them do it better, with liquid cooling.

I'm sorry, do you have anything to add that anyone cares about? Thought not.

I have a quad runner and I wanted to have a spare motorcycle so the kids can ride together. This thing will carry me and I weigh 220.

$250 mini bike goes about 25 mph. My bro doesn't want them riding two wheel motorcycles because they aren't safe. This ones harmless

And as easy to fix and maintain as you can get. Starts first pull.
