Consider this model..
If a BMW is interesting, take a look at the RT. Much lighter with lots of protection and comfort. Second look might be a Kawasaki Concourse.

If you broke your
Collarbone--give it plenty of time to heal.. Might be a good idea to put the bikes in storage and rent a car for a trip back to Mom and Dad's basement! Best of luck with your recovery..

Try this
On the right boot:
1. A thin sock
2. Remove the insole
3. Insert shoe tree if available.
Wear this way for the next 6 rides. It will stretch slightly and you should be all set.

Clif please clarify..
On 2 different occasions Bill has stated that he borrowed the GTL that he rode to Alaska. You on the other hand seem to think that Bill owns the bike. Does that help you justify your purchase?

Some ramblings..
1. You may have the tall seat on the R bike you are riding(loaner) Check with the dealer and see if they have the low seat. With the stock seat, it should have the same seat height as your GTL.
