    Have you been out there? It's not warm yet!!! This cold weather is hard on the wallet, too much time to go shopping for toys.
    Anyone check out the R1200GS at Wildwood? Another 15 hp more than last year :clap

    Yes, but I bought a new oil filter for my KLR instead.

    Sorry to hear about your pavment kissing episode. Kind of wished you pointed yourself in this direction. May not have made a difference for you, but I've been here almost four weeks now and only had one visiter.

    Hope you heal fast my friend.

    Is it time to trade up already Greg? At one time I traded in my 2009 Jeep on a 2011 because it had an extra 1.5 inches of ground clearance!

    No new BMW this year! I like to avoid new model years. The 2013 is water cooled along with engine changes. Lets wait and see.
    I might go buy a new truck though...

    My thoughts as well Greg. I've had way to many new models that give too much grief, usually snowmobiles though!
    I did the new truck thing already (sorry Carl, not a Dodge) so need to stop spending for a bit.
    Got to love that new Ecoboost though, sucks gas but goes like hell :D

    That would be the ride to Eagan, wouldn't it?!! Sorry to hear of your mishap. Seeing the picture of the bike laying there in the snow reminded me of a scene from "Fargo"!

    Glad to hear you're on the mend.

    They've got one in? I was in there, I guess 2 weeks ago and they didn't have one. Might have to check up and see if my seat also came in.

    I also got my Omni-Cruise a few days after my last visit, so I'd like to confirm that it will fit (already pretty sure it will).

    Reminds me I need to email Jody at DSP and see where my farkles are at....

    I heard they are thirsty buggers. I have to say Ford has made nice changes and their trucks look almost as good as the Ram...almost...GM is about 10 years behind right now. RAM TRUCK SALE IN OUR SHOWROOM THIS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, in case someone is interested...since I am not in sales, I can sell it for a rediculously low price, as I won't know any better.:clap

    So are you saying its too tall? Because if that's the case it may just be time for me to splurge and get a shiny new steed, I have lifted my KLR and it's still too short for my massive legs.

    You are a lucky man . I guess with seat in highest position and standard suspension my feet will be dangling a feet(or more) of the ground :lol3.
