I have "several" bikes. Moved my primary residence to Soutwest Florida recently and had to decide which bike to keep here. It surprised me, but I came to the conclusion that if I had to pick just one nice weather bike, the R18 was it. It was a ton of fun riding it from Maryland to Florida in...

I met up with a bunch of fellow CB1100 enthusiasts in North Carolina / Tennessee last week and of course had to do the Tail of the Dragon just because. There are so many great roads in those parts, the actual Tail of the Dragon is overrated in comparison (in my opinion), but I was wishing I had...

I haven't used anything but full face helmets for decades. I recently picked this thing up and have to admit that in hot (90 degree +) weather, it's a comfortable option. I don't use it on highway commutes... Just back road tooling around. That probably doesn't count for anything, but who...

What other BMW bikes do you have now or have had in the past???

Anybody else ride it today? I did the Baltimore one. Nice folks and a great day. Some nifty older bikes too. I was the only R18 there...

Am I correct in assuming that the triangular frame piece is there just to prevent passengers from inadvertently making contact with the drive shaft?

Stopped by the local BMW place because I was out and about in the general vicinity. Saw this R18 in the showroom. Interesting forks and headlight....

The local dealer sponsored a "bike show" an flat-track race. They had test rides for most of the current BMW line-up, and a Bagger, though they weren't offering rides on it. I generally liked the looks and vibe as something different, but it wasn't entirely my cup of tea. Fun time though...

The weather here has been scorching hot over the last week. High of 100 may be normal for the Southwest, but around these parts, a week straight of that is a bit rough...particularly considering the humidity here. Anyway, I've had the R18 for 4 months and in that time, I never removed the...

It's that time of year in the mid-Atlantic. Hot and humid. I wouldn't go so far as to say that I'm really a ATGATT guy, but I don't ride without a jacket of some sort with armor. That means uncomfortably hot typically. I'm usually not a sucker for ads that get served up while I'm online, but...

I stopped by the grocery store on the way home the other day. I had a couple of rolls of paper towels in addition to the other contents which was slightly larger than the side bag could handle without a little coaxing. The reflector broke off of the side of the bag. I guess the stress of (and...

Some think it's goofy, but I think it's goofy in a cool way. I did the Baltimore one. Lots of cities have many more participants, but the roughly 75 or so that attended here was a great group. Many seem to know one another from prior events, and keep in touch through the year.

I know that it's different everywhere, but it seems that around here (DC / Mid-Atlantic area) things are relaxing a bit. Every first and third Sunday of each month, Bikes and Breakfast Maryland does a get-together in Poolesville Maryland. This past weekend, other than folks wearing masks when...

New owner of a Classic. Finally traded in my '98 R1200C (had it since new). Loving this new bike. Out with the old... In with the new...
