Change of Sig - Well, sort of

Went out and bought it. Tomorrow I'll be taking it out to play a
little. A more detailed account will follow, with the caveat that I
know **** all about bikes. ;-)

Make sure you sit the right way round then.

 

Fairy nuff. I remember being on the launch of those things. Fun. They've
got a stiffer fork than the K75 and taller gearing, and they really
handle rather well. For a BMW.

I remember chasing John Robinson up some Scottish road, him on a K100RS
(provided for back-to-back evaluation) and me on the 75S, and when we
stopped, he actually had to take a second look at the 75 - count the
cylinders - because he couldn't believe how well it was going. He
thought it was another 1000.

They wilt a little two-up, though....

 

Cool. We're thinking about a ride to Mesa Verde after the snow melts
next year, want to go?

 

muddy proposed

Sounds good. Thanks btw for sending me the SV info, as you can imagine
I'm not going to buy it now. ;-)

 

The Older Gentleman proposed

The rather short stretch I've ridden it now I felt it does, though my
comparisons are the Transalp and the 1150GS, so quite different kettle
of fish.

Well, currently I have no two-up situation, and if it becomes a
possibility I might just use that as an argument to date any fat
AMerican munters.

 

Timo Geusch proposed

Ta, just prepare yourself for a barage of SOBMW questions.

 

Scraggy proposed

Yeah, that's a tough one, in particular as I got to handles on the back
as well.

 

I'm positively crushed I am.

You're in California - surely there are some thin ones?

 

Wicked Uncle Nigel proposed

Hohoho, I just busted a gut it was sooooo funny, novel and
unpredictable. ;-)

Don't blame me for your lack of a sense of humour matey!

Quite surprising really though, considering how well-known for their
sense of humour are both his natural and adopted countrymen.
