It has been well suited for Leica shooting (to get somewhat on topic) as I often have one nested in the tank bag. Coincidentally I have been looking at BMW's (older K1200RS, R1100RT or R1100R -- a K1200GT would be my ultimate choice, but a little to new to be affordable for me). Most Beemers come with ABS -- which might have helped me avoid the accident. BTW, the IBMWR list has a bunch of neat, helpful people and reminds me in many ways of the LUG. They even have a few elder philosophers (but no saloonkeeper!) Rob McClure On Aug 20, 2007, at 8:08 PM, Richard Clompus wrote: > Rob, motorcycling is indeed exciting.
