Last week in the Alps
More power, bigger tank, smoother and better luggage capacity then the R1100S
Too big for the daily commute, and a solo blast round the twistys

Looks good. I recon that the S is too wide for any commuting
especially with the luggage

It's not how fast you ride, it's how you ride fast.
Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear
bright until you hear them speak.

I loikes the big FJR I does.
Followed a very well-ridden one up in Scotchland back in 2004 whilst on my TT600 (the one that didn't go pop). My giddy does that Yamaha shift a bit.

Agree about the Grossglockner, been there twice, and had to do it twice each time
Cheers

RoLoo,
Glad you liked the pictures, I take it you found them on my website
It was really cold on the Großglöckner, and we couldn't see much at the Hoctor.
We preferred the Dolomites, it was warmer, cheaper, and there are so many bends. We stayed three days in Arraba, which is close to
Passo de pordoi , so there were lots of great roads on our doorstep.
