i learned early on that there were Japanese horses and there were German horses. The German horses had more torque.

Thanks for the great write up Gene. I think for you to reach the speeds you did on that session was awesome. I'll have a much greater appreciation the next MotoGP race I watch there.

I have a 2019 BMW R1250RT which is their sport touring model as opposed to the K1600 which is described as their touring model. Very comfortable and loads of protection from the elements. I have 57,000 km so far with no complaints and no failures other than a low beam headlight bulb that I've...

Short ride over to GP Bikes for new tire install. Sat in a comfortable chair upstairs amongst all the bikes in the new section. Left a pile of drool on the floor.
