Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

29 now with a high of 32 expected. Sitting in the hospital waiting for my wife to get out of a heart procedure. Been a long wait(been here since 6:30) once she gets out it will be a 4 or 5 hour recovery. Prayers needed.

Prayers for all.

I owned the R75/7 for 32 years and really like the airheads. I rode a 92 R100GS for a couple of years, after the 99 K12LT. I was looking for a nice R100RT when I happened on the R1150RT-P CHiP bike that I ride now.

I have an R100GS that's closing in on 150K miles, lots of smiles on that one!

Thanks for the link. I'm finding that the one man outfits are slow to return calls, or maybe they just can't understand the voicemail I've left. I'll pack up my list of phone numbers and try them when I get to town tomorrow I guess.

64 °F and no rain.

Trip to PO this morning. Not much else planned. Maybe straighten tractor shed to ensure clear paths for wheel narrowing concrete. Maybe work on my materials list for post concrete phase.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Speaking of BMW motorcycles, I remember talking to a guy at the local shop back in the early '90s who said he was on a factory tour there and saw a prototype 4-cylinder boxer engine sitting on a stand, and asked the tour guide if that was the rumored 1600. He said they quickly threw a cover over it and refused to discuss it :laughing:.

Good story, Paul. I guess BMW abandoned the 4 cylinder boxer after that guy saw the prototype? Or maybe they figgered Honda already had laid claim to that idea, and just pumped up the 1000cc inline 4 to 1200cc. These days, everyone is drooling over the 1600cc inline 6, but in my opinion they're too long and heavy, and even though they handle well, they'd be a handful at parking lot speeds and go through tires like grain through a goose.:laughing:

Hope everything goes smoothly for your wife, Phil. And for a very quick recovery.

Went to PT even though lots of ice on roads. Just took it slow. I know the ABS works.

Don, one thing that might work to straighten door rail is have one of the wood shops make a block that fits inside track. Then keep using a hammer to pound rail back into shape as block is moved closer to bend. Don't get block stuck in rail. Door will not close at all.

I took a test ride a K100LT once while my bike was in for some service. I really wanted to like that bike, and it was a great ride, but it seemed quite top-heavy compared to the boxers ... and for obvious reasons. Those flat twins just have a great center of gravity.

I also kind of wanted to like the K1, but just not my style.
