...early morning ride...
...it almost looks fast...
...old rusty Chevy meets shiny new Beemer...
...great bike guys ; by far not such an all-rounder as the 1100, but more a toy-bike. Great sound, and very fast (compared to the 1100)...

Fantastic looking machine, only problem is the limited customer base for the bike - only for those with an inside leg measurment of 31"+!

...you mean only for those who have long legs ?
...well, I'm 1.82 meters (and with aprox 32-33" inside leg length) ; and the bike fits me perfectly ; only a bit tip-toe when manoeuvring...

Great looking bike especially with the tinted screen, but Ron I am puzzled how you can finance a new bike before selling the old one? I don't mean to be nosey, but I've been working for 30 + years and I still have too raise the cash first then go for the bike I want. Maybe I've lead a sheltered life as I've had 2 bikes in the last 6 years and as I recall you've had about 3 bikes in the last 18 months !!
don't answer that -- tell me to mind my own business. good luck anyway.

...4 bikes actually...
...but here is the 'secret' Mike ; there once was a time I lived in a beautiful house. Bought it when we were young ; and it was new. Sadly due to a divorce we had to sell it some 13 years later. But with a HUGE profit. We split the profit, and we went our way...
...a few years later I met Jeannet, she also had a beautiful house etc.etc.etc ; she lived there alone with her childeren..., think you can imagine the rest of the story..., and yes she also made a HUGE profit...
...and that's the 'secret' Mike...
...BTW ; we started as a new family a few years back, in a (new) house that I had bought a year before I met Jeannet...
...my profit went in the new house (to keep my costs low), and with a part of Jeannet her profit we financed a few bikes...
...oh...and the BCR is for sale at this very moment...
