It's been a pretty great summer so far. No fancy new bikes or anything. Mark's been doing a lot of off-road/trail riding and has been teaching his 17 year old daughter how to ride the CRF100. I have been doing everything I can to NOT go dirt biking and all that fun stuff. I have done some riding, kart racing, went to a water park...but my prego belly is starting to get big and I kind of worry myself if I do too much daredevil stuff.

You going to ride the new bike down to the GP this year, or do we get to have a Honda Fit showdown?

I wasn't crazy about that bike when I saw them on the showroom floors, but those pics look SWEET. I think the color makes a big difference. Its excellent when you find something that fits you so well, and even better when you work out a good deal to get it.

psst.... wanna see one naked?  Cool

First, all the gear that's getting replaced...


Now for the naked picture:


and another:


Congrats on your new ride. I had an '04 prior to getting the '09, there is a pretty big difference in the feel of the motors between the 1150 and 1200. You got a hold of a great bike. Enjoy... BTW, I have found pretty much two types of BMW owners. Those who ride (and I mean ride them), and those that buy them and let them sit around forever. I've always found it interesting when looking at used BMWs how there are high mileage BMWs and extremely low mileage BMWs, with very little in between.

Wayne.
Hubba hubba, they look good neked!  What were you replacing?  Was it mileage related?
The more I ride mine, the more I like it.  I replaced the chain and sprockets on the Strom today and took it for a test.  It is still a very comfortable bike, but the RT is just so refined.  So nimble.

I crashed mine at 65 MPH (see: http://www.sport-touring.net/forums/index.php/topic,39981.msg912856.html#msg912856). They are replacing a ton of stuff, thus all the boxes. The rear subframe is what they just finished replacing in the last picture.

Yowtch.  
Good thing you are OK.  That looked nasty.  
So, now for 2 questions.  What sort of GPS mount is that?  Also, now do you have a used and scratched top case for sale? Smile
