>Great bike the BMW. Not my style. But I respect the craftsmanship. I have friends that have owned them. For Sport/Touring they can't be beat.

Dad toured all over the US and some Canada. One thing Dad had that I have not inherited was his steel butt. He could put 600 miles a day on the bike and not show any ill affects. We took a tour of the US together in 1991 and on the first day we did 587 miles. Man it was all I could do to get the tent up and crawl in an collapse.
