Make sense but doesn't sound like the bike for me which is disappointing I wanted to someday get a BMW bike and love it but it doesn't sound like I would. Sigh, such is life I guess I'll stick with my R6s. I like things fast enough to do something stupid on as I generally (as the previous story suggested) will find something stupid to do and generally it works out better than that story did. On two wheels I want to be the fastest most maneuverable thing on the road or something close too it.
You know what we call the guys that don't wear gear in my neck of the woods? We call them squids because that is what they will look like when they go down. Always wear a helmet.
I wear boots, leathers, gloves, and helmet. I don't even move it from the driveway into the garage without at least a helmet. I kinda like the gooey bits in my head.
And, don't get me wrong, it's a great bike and it turns a lot of heads. It's just not me. It's more bike than I need. It's also not all that comfortable. It's good at taking corners and going absurdly fast. If you want to be aggressive in every corner and constantly push the bike, I'm sure you'd love it.
That pretty much describes how I like to ride. Good on you for wearing gear. I like you even more now that I know that. Lots of guys seem to think they are above wearing gear and they just are not.
BTW, now that I am home and surgery went well and no one got paralyzed or dead. Cheers Dr. Buddha. May there be many more long years of life for everyone.
That out of the way Hows your night going? Mine is fantastic. Its pretty much the best day ever as you have said many a time. I am even off on a badge awarding spree I am in such a good mood.
I'm not sure how my reply got threaded under your other comment. Oh well.
I'm having a nightcap with the missus - who's remarkably tonight in that she's having a glass of glogg/glug. It's in the mid-30s, so we started the first fire of the year. The house is pretty much silent, but it was noisy earlier. EH has gone to bed and everyone else long since gone home or on their Saturday night adventure.
I actually kind of like staying home and staying in. I don't really have the energy to go out every night, like I used to. In fact, my ass is headed to sleep sometime soon. The missus would probably like it if I went to bed with her tonight. So, I'll probably do that. She hasn't fallen asleep under her book, so she's not yet ready to trundle off up the stairs. It's getting close.
Well I wish you a good night. My nerves are too raw to sleep at the moment, something I have been doing very little of lately. I'm only averaging about 3 hours a night. It makes me cloudy but today I am so happy I have no worries.
