I'm glad you are beginning to deal with the aging process Sergio.
I still prefer the more refined accoutrement of the RT.

Nah, Steve... he still has the bike with THAT particular cluster... it'll turn into the Red Headed Stepchild, though... I am sure!
Bubba, for as long as he keeps his (barely legal) fiance around, there will be no "aging process"... Yes, Sergio has been hit hard by the GS bug... turned into yet another happy customer of SD BMW MC... purdy bike, he has there... Ought to be fun and I can now see out trip to TDF developing a tad bit faster than before...

Funny, Jack... Sergio has a very similar lineup now... GS instead of GSA, though...

I must say these two bikes are worlds apart in terms of ergos and function. I used my 11S as my everyday do-all bike and the GS will surpass that I'm sure but the HP2S will stay. There's just nothing like it!
Bubba, my aging process is like that of a fine Californian wine, better with age, at least that's what my divergent mind thinks and lately it's been full of stellar thoughts. Ralf, thank you for being there to nudge me along. I must admit TDF sounds very appealing especially riding to my birthplace... I just need to figure out if it would be both relationship and career suicide.* I'll post pics of the new stable in time, want to 'hike the appalachian trail' first. *

After I get a beater bike to use for LA traffic, I'll one day spend the coinage on the Akra system for the HP2S. I'd love to hear that engine sing with those cans. I love the GSA but I can barely get the bike off the sidestand - what can I say, it's my short Armenian stature. Amazing looking bikes though!

But the best of both worlds I also used my former 11S as a everyday bike, hollyday donkey, track, tour and duo bike ... and nothing wrong with that, loved that bike ! Yep, the GS/A can be replaced by an other one, newer, better or a compleet other bike ... but the HP2S will stay till the end

Well done, Sergio. The GS bug can strike as fast as some of the flu viruses out there. The difference is you actually feel better when it does!
BTW: looks like you may have a headlight out...
