...speakin' of Sergio's computers...I just bit on a new one. Cyber Monday and all.

Today is Tuesday Rapid.

The paparazzi wasn't the problem... little bugs though are. I'm down and out with a stubborn cold... woke up two days ago with a sore throat and I've been a mess ever since. This fever isn't helping, maybe I can induce some hallucinations. ;) As for walking down the street, I can barely make it to the can. :p


Rapid, I saw those ohllies too but my brain is fried right now (see above).

Saint, you drive a hard bargain, I'll contact you via PM.

Rob, good eye. I've had that PC for years now... I can't get myself to throw it out. Everything works on it too, PIII 450 w/ 256mb of ram and either an 8 or 12gb HD. Seems a shame to just toss it but I don't know who to give it to.

It would get more use this way though...

Rapid, can your new PC do that?!?!? :p

You have been a mess ever since I have known you...

You sound like my teacher in elementary school. At least i'm consistent.

...uh, yeah , I meant I bit yesterday...so to speak. And yes, supposedly it will really turn and burn.
*sizzle*

Great color my friend . . . Looks like you are keeping the memory of a very cool S alive.

It occurs to me that I beat up AndrewA with a similar deal a while back. Always happy to help spread the GS disease - but do get well soon, Sergio!

Somehow I ended up managing my company's computer systems. Since it is against policy to spend money on anything, I was keeping those old ATs alive with salvage parts for years. Finally got rid of them (and all of the spare parts) for free to a company that recycles them - presumably to 3rd world countries. I'm sure such companies exist where you are.

Serg, FYI, there's also an Ohllies Group Buy goin' down at ADV.
consider the Wilbers though, from Ted Porter...

I'll probably get new springs in umm... spring. ;)

there's lots of good things you can use old computers for.

Hey Sergio
 

I feel your pain, I've been down with the mung for over 2 weeks myself, finally back to 90% now. I have a cut down stock shield leftover, I used in hot weather you are welcome to, whenever we connect. Sorry I never got to that bike up here, I was starting to get sick about then. Glad you got one and are becoming acustomed to it. The lack of Ohlins didn't seem to affect me a bit. oh, and I assume Ralph has made you aware, those factory bags expang-the left one doubles in size, you do know that , right?? I found them to be far superior to the bags on my K bike (similar to the ones youa re used to) and possibly the best luggage I ever had on a bike. enjoy it, wish I could ride.............

I share your sentiment with the "lack of Öhlins", Scooter... does not seem to bother me much... not even with shocks that have a 16.5K mile road trip fully loaded on them...

I figure I am just used to the bike now and don't want to mess with that ;)

Define 'work'. My new Win7 install prefers 50 GB just for the OS ...

Congrats on the new paint mixer, Sergio. I do hope you treat this better than your previous gray beemer. Good-looking stuff doesn't doesn't stay that way for long with you ...



:rolleyes:

Ouch, that hurt, Roger!

Cruel, but fair.

I really liked Bingo's 11.:(

How are ya, Ralfie? SmileWavy

Well, after being 'chastised' for putting 30k miles on it in less than two years, I had to remind the Bingo that 'his old bike' was actually being used. http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/ima...ies/icon22.gif I treated the bike just fine and in fact it got regular servicing on a systematic basis. But, if I had wanted it to stay a garage queen, I would have left it parked in the garage instead of using it. Same as the HP2 Sport... it is by no stretch of the imagination a garage queen. With that said...

Nothing manmade will ever remain pristine and I know unequivocally that I want to fully use and enjoy the motorcycles I buy and I don't buy them so I can look at them. But I digress, if you liked his old bike that much, ya shoulda bought it so you could look at it in your garage. :p

Doin' GREAT, Roger... lots of dirt riding lately... not so much on the street. I have a couple of DP bikes if you want to come over with no "baggage"...

Yeah, the 11S was a good and pretty bike... but the sand just viciously attacked him...

I was only stirring you up, Darth Sergio. Just wish you hadn't tried to ride your Razalon FC-20 upside down quite so soon.

I'll tell her you called her that.


THEN you'll be sorry.

Me too! Though the more I ride this GS the more I like it... I dare not say more than my S, but I think it may come to that.

Lesson learned though, I'm never running point with only 5 hours of sleep under my belt. I should have said something earlier in the day. I had the physical strength but apparently my CPU was a bit underpowered that day and the bike paid the price for it. I'm fortunate I 'slid' away scot free. ;)

I watched quite a number of you guys switch to GSs now, and I have yet to hear anyone get all misty about the lack of performance. The goat trails beckon ...

Actually, it has more power and that power comes on much earlier. It leads to better 'driveability' thus in daily driving it's far superior than old Oilhead boxer 11S. There, I said it.

The only thing that really kept me from staying with you on the goat trail was the fact that my suspension completely bottomed out, every time I landed... power wise, it would have not been an issue...

But I was dragging hard parts on the UNDERSIDE of the bike... massively. Granted, those shocks had just seen a few miles fully loaded over - at times - rather odd terrain.. but I doubt they are even close to half as good as your suspension when new...

Thank you Roger, that was very kind of you.

Oh yea, did Sergio say garage queen? He's joking right? Gotta know if he's joking before I say any further. :)
