G46, looks like they do really nice work - great pics.  I'm sure you will enjoy it.

BMW have built themselves a ninetieth birthday present…

It's basically an R1200R with the forks off an S1000RR, and added bike porn.

More in the press release and press pack.

Yep, drop bars and different mirrors and that Bimmer is just about perfection.

[Graeme]

Yeah, the Beemer needs clip-ons.

The forthcoming Bell Bullitt helmet looks pretty cool. It should be around $400, with both DOT and ECE variants.

[tatmantall]

Or just chop the mirrors.

That helmet is nice….

saw this honda in st.gallen yesterday…while on a walk, trying to get the way too much consumed alcohol out of my body, before driving back home to bern (2h)

Nice lid.

Fall is a great time to ride in my neck of the woods. Lunchtime rides for a quick sanity break.

[Bluegrass]

Agree, love riding in the Fall - jacket weather.  Nothing clears your head like a quick ride.

saw this the other month in Brighton, i love the style bit of tlc would scrub up nice.

[summ3rhays]

Nice,  I dig that it's well ridden.  Some of the bikes I see are a little too pristine.  It definitely needs some attention though.

[Gene46]

Sweet ride.  Love the headlight and no mirrors.

That chain is in need of some serious love though….

[TJ]

Womp womp.  The worst part is that I wasn't even getting radical when I stacked it up.  This is my second freeway crash in IH gear with essentially no road-rash.

[gratefulmelon]

That blows dude! Really glad you're okay.

[Bluegrass]

Yeah, seriously glad your OK… bike can be fixed.

[Moonshine]

Sorry about your crash, TJ!  How did it happen?  Did it mess up a lot of stuff or just the girder?  Hopefully the Invader is still ok!

I hit a huge expansion joint on the freeway while I was leaned over a little bit.  Nasty tank-slapper pulled the bars out of my hands and I went over the top.

Almost everything forward of the neck is toast.  The Invader was rad, but they're just too damned fragile.  I welded that one back together twice, and this time some spokes bent and one actually cracked open.  Back to 9-spoke mags for me.  They don't look very cool, but they can take a beating.
