In addition to the extra load of a motorcycle, we have a small trailer to take enough comfort for long stays.  8) 8) ;)
At our ages, we must not deprive ourselves of it  ;D

I actually want to add a C10 to the stable. I think the wife would like it for long distances. She's riding a GSX1250FA at the moment and loves it. Just not super great for long hauls. I REALLY need to add a hitch to my C14 so we can do more motorcycle camping. I loved the trip we did for our honeymoon, but stacking all the stuff on the bike kinda sucked.

Hello
our side-car from 1987 to currently 295624 km is for sure, but I think it’s rather 395624 km, I am its fifth owner and we have it for 10 years this year, and still the same engine without complete repair.
In 10 years, we have done 157624 km and still only happiness.  ;)
A GTR 1000 goes very far, from the moment you give it the right maintenance and a lot of love.

Very quiet on here lately.

I went for a decent ride on Otto last Sunday with a few friends. We went to a bike store/cafe in Sudbury (UK) called TTT Motorcycle Village.
Lots of used motorcycles available (but no GTRs), riding gear, accessories, and a decent cafe that does a good All Day English breakfast.

Otto behaved admirably considering he is now only 200 miles away from his double-rollover.
He has 200k miles on the frame/odometer and 25k miles since rebuild of Sanji's 150k mile engine (so engine at approx. 175k miles).
When he hits that 200k miles I will be swapping the instrument cluster over for a new-old-stock one that I scored a few years ago for 60UKP.
He will go from 0 miles to 0 miles  ;D

Vivian is shortly going in to a local motorcycle mechanincs for a full top-end service prior to our August trip to Austria.

.For sheer enjoyment of riding I still prefer my ancient C10 even over the C14.
It's nowhere near as quick but is way more involving and satisfying to ride.

hello
I agree 100%      :) ;)

I have no doubt that the BMW bikes being a premium bike will have a premium price to maintain :)  However I am confident I can do about 90% of the service myself. I have put about 1000 mile on mine so far and It is an amazing bike no disrespect to the connie because its a great bike but...... IMO not even in the same ballpark the k 1600 is superior

Didn't want to miss anything.  I seem to have bad luck lately with ordering stuff.
