At my age just the challenge of staying on top of the sod is enough.

We got a record dump of that white stuff on us these past two days. I spent an hour just clearing out my short but wide driveway. I though all that was done once I got to Southern Oregon. No scooter riding this week, hard enough to get around in the AWD Equinox with all the damp ice on the road...

You just need to get your pants with longer inseams so you can blouse your boots. Just like in basic training.

Enjoy, change is the spice of life.

21F this morning when I rode over to Mickey D's for a Big Breakfast. Luckily it's only two miles away. Pretty chilly without the Gerbings.

Had my GT out the last couple of days in the cold mornings one day 21F the next 28F. Not too bad since I wasn't traveling at highways speed, mostly local errands. Had on my heavy Tourmaster coat with liner and Gerbings gloves but didn't have them plugged in. The automatic function on the grip...

Cool but dry day today, I got out and ran a few errands on the GT. It's been quite wet with a bit of snow here the past ten days or so. El Nino for sure. It was nice to get out for a while. 39F late this morning so it wasn't uncomfortably cold. The scooter seemed happy to get out as well. When...

I miss sailing. Living here in Medford, Oregon is great but I've never lived this far from salt water in my adult life. Although living in Alaska this time of year is for boat maintenance not sailing. Lately it's been pretty wet this last few weeks. More like the Pacific Northwest than Southern...

Things do get slow this time of year in a lot of places. Lots of bikes taking the long sleep until spring.

Congratulations! I think you're going to enjoy this machine. Unfortunately you didn't get the fastest color which everyone who knows anything about science knows is RED.

I've also had a couple of people stop and look when I'm loading a grocery cart load into my GT.

The TPMS was the first warning I got when the original rear tire started leaking. It took a very careful inspection to see the screw in the tread. Even if it's not terribly accurate the TPMS does show leaks when they happen, a very good feature.

I have no problem loading up with a couple weeks groceries in my GT. Between the under seat storage and the top box the scooter will carry as much or maybe a bit more than my GL1800 would. If you add a couple bags of critter food strapped on the back seat with a bungee net it's quite a load. If...

I'm impressed with the new Tmax but the one thing it's missing is a single sided swing arm. I really like that. My first bike with that feature was my previous GL1800 Goldwing. I don't think I ever want another bike without that. Being able to remove the rear wheel without disturbing the brake...

The main thing to me is that the lights both high and low beam are very effective. Nearly as good as those on my previous GL1800 which were the best lights I've ever seen on a bike.

Unfortunately it doesn't appear that EBC is making rotors for the BMW scooters. Personally I'd put some new pads on it and call it good. Grooves parallel to the circumference really don't matter all that much. If there's a big lip on the edge of the rotor you might be able to find a shop that...

Perhaps it looks like, as you say, butt because you're sitting backwards. ;)

Seeing as many motorcycles use the same set up of one bulb at a time in use it seems odd to be so sensitive to the esthetics of the headlight to the point of getting rid of the bike. For one thing it uses less power than running two bulbs at all times. I agree it would have looked better to have...

I did get a GPS reading on my GT year before last of 113 or 114mph, it was switching back and forth so prabably 113.5mph. The speedo was up around 120 but I didn't look too closely at that. The large numbers on my GPS were easier to read under the circumstances. To be honest the GT felt about as...

One of the difficulties I had when righting my GT that fell downhill side down was that the bike got pretty tall as it came up. Since I had to lift standing about a foot lower than the bike it was slightly above me. That sure didn't help things because I just couldn't lift it high enough. It...
