My New BMW [Dec. 1st, 2007|08:59 pm]
Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry
Bought a new BMW R1150RT touring bike tonight. Radjin's been interested in bikes the last couple of months and I saw one I liked today....and I couldn't resist. Thought about it during the day and went back in the afternoon. Now I am officially poor but having fun. ;)

Now all I need is a decent set of leathers...but when I can afford it.

No way man. I'm a cruiser not a racer or into motocross. Motocross is for the insane. I'm keeping my bones in one piece if I can help it. ;)

I think more people get killed on the highway from cars pulling out in front of them than from motocross racing, but I don't race so I wouldn't know.

Be extra careful on that thing. They are pretty dangerous.

Re: bikes

(Link)

Don't worry, I have a lot of respect for how dangerous bikes are. It's reinforced when you see friends end up in the hospital from them. Although it was a few years ago now, I took a motorcycle driver safty course thinking it would help.

This won't be my main means of transportation. It's just a fun toy for casual sight seeing cruises.

But I'll be careful. Thanks. ^^

WOW! Very nice bike! ^^ That's definitely a good way to combat the high fuel costs. Just BE CAREFUL!!! :-p

Na, not going to be my main means of transportation. Just a fun cruising toy when I'm not working. Traffic here is just too insane to use it to commute. I'll end up as road pizza. Besides, I have to put premium fuel into it so it's not as cheap as you might think. ;)

I'll be careful though. Thanks. *hugs*

ZOMG! Beammers are really nice riding bikes. I hope you have alot of fun on it, and go for alot of nice rides. I known many to go cross country on there BMW's and tell me howl comfortable it is. But i got to ask on thing. Can the husky ride bitch? *tailwags and gives you big puppy dog eyes*

hehemy honda shoadow isnt that comfortable on the really long rides... ass gets sore :P

good luck and keep the rubber side down!

Thanks. ^^

I took the motorcycle safty course on a Honda Shadow years ago and it was a fun bike but had no idea what it was like for distance. Comfy ride is important though, yes. My last bike was a Yamaha and your butt was really sore after a few hours on it. hehe

I'm hoping that because this is a higher end touring bike that I'll do better on the longer runs. ;)

Guess you'll have to upgrade your bike sometime. hehe

Thanks for the comment. ^^ *hugs*

HEAVY METAL (or silverball) THUNDER!

I know we're gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all the guns and watts and explode into space
And like a true nature's child
We were born to be wild
I'm gonna fly so high,
I'm never gonna die... X*)

I love to ride too, but I don't have a bike of my own and my skills are a little rusty because of it...
