I am pretty biased, but I love BMW bikes. If I didn't have an R1200GS, I would likely have a K1200S or K1300S. Are they worth the premium? I'm not entirely sure. There is a bit of a cachet about BMW bikes; like the cars, they are a premium brand. There is a certain feel to the bikes, a...

Those are BMW Santiago. A fantastic choice for Dual sport boot. Great comfortable boots for riding or walking, good protection, durable. Sadly my pair leaked - like a sieve - after a year and a half. I replaced them with the Sidi Adventure Gore I mentioned on the first page.

I have a pair of Sidi Adventure Gore for Dual sport riding. Spendy, but a really nice boot.

Ritchard's second law of the Universe states: give people a chance to act like an @sshole, and they will never let you down.

Have you been before? You might want to get to Front Royal VA on Day One. It's perfectly do-able. Gives you much more time on Skyline Drive and BRP the next day. The Mexican restaurant, Jalisco(?) is terrific.

I ride with either my Hein Gericke Timbuktu or my BMW Santiago. Lately it has been more the Timbuktu, because it unzips more. You want to find a jacket that allows a lot of air flow, but that fits well enough that the armour won't shift out of the way in a getoff. DualSport Plus as...

+1 more. My toys are insured before I ever take the keys.

+1 on The Bissell Little Green spot cleaner. With a dog and two young boys (well not so young now) we have got excellent use out of ours. It would do your coffee spot no problems.

For heavens sake, it's only 300 kms.

I do all this, and also juggle chainsaws while riding. Ahh, City Life.

You sound like my kind of rider. All day, gone exploring. Maybe see you sometime.

Can you not adjust the brake lever?

Sounds like a great trip, but 4 days? What's the rush? I did a similar trip last month in 6 days, and that seemed like it was rushing. Oh, and the Tail of the Dragon was kind of touristy - however a special kind of tourist - but well worth doing once. R

Subaru's AWD system is near foolproof. Let's just call it "less effective" when the rubber is pointing upwards.

Garry, You haven't posted anything up in this thread for a month. How about a full review? I am drooling over the GT after the Cycle World bit on the two bikes. R

Here's a long shot - at scuba shops you can get a product called "sink the stink" an enzyme based cleaner for removing the funk from wetsuits (and we know the source of much of the funk, now don't we). I wonder if you got two capsules of that stuff (around $2 apiece) and soaked the cover in a...

Really happy that you weren't hurt. Interested to hear further developments.

I love SOA. Fantastic casting, the performers are all so great. Ron Perlman is superb. Katie Sagal...there's a sexy lady-of-a-certain-age. Season 3 got a little rangey with all the Irish stuff, and Titus Weliver as Jimmy O'Phelan drove me crazy with the terrible accent. Looking forward to...

What a disappointing post. The one trait I have the hardest time with in people is selfishness. You win.
