Springtime is riding time
« on: March 21, 2015, 09:30:04 PM »
In celebration of the first full day of spring, I took Big Blue out for the inaugural ride of the season. It was only 50 miles, but it sure felt good to be back in the saddle again!

Nice.

The guy with the Karmann Ghia was out yesterday.  That car has such a nice paint job.  :drool:

I saw a BMW inline transverse sports bike today.
I got an inkling of the old fever.

Is your bike a shaftie ?

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

Yup. 1832 cc engine, 5 speed, shaft drive.

BMW makes a nice bike. How long will it take to talk yourself into one?

Very cool. That engine is a change for BMW, right? I'm used to seeing Boxer engines on their standards and tourers, but I don't know anything about their sport bikes.
