This will put the wind in your hair floss, that is, if you didn't now have wear a helmet... I do more running now these days than riding bikes! Sigh!

Lovely bike. My last one was a Pan European - what's the emoticon for sentimental sigh?

Yes, good memories of the tours I've done with wife & friends some years ago, over the continent, especially, the tour down through France over the Swiss Alps and into Italy, and then another tour over to Norway.. And up to Scotland twice, Awesome! Great bike the pan, friend on those tours had one, loved it and did loads of miles, but got a problem with his hip and couldn't get his leg over! So he had to sell it. 

I used Vfr800 then mainly BMW R1150/1200 Rt's.My nephew is a service coordinator in a Honda bike dealers, and I keep thinking about having a test ride on a Vfr1200 DCC the one with an auto gearbox, must be excellent for touring...😉

Honda?  Never. Stick to the BMW

[davelinks Graduate10 in reply to nhs2015]

No, I wouldn't trade in a Beemer for a Honda, if I had one already! Both excellent quality, yes, I know you have a BMW!😊

With heated handgrips.....

[davelinks Graduate10 in reply to nhs2015]

Had heated seats and cd/radio on my beemer, excellent on the long cold runs, as long as the temp is set right or you cook!😊

That looks similar to the Dragstar 1100, beautiful bike!

[davelinks Graduate10 in reply to Returning2Run]

Yes, It's a Suzuki Intruder125... Looks like a bigger cc bike, that's partly why I got it, and cheap to run, and I enjoy working on it, loads of spare parts available..

Very nice bike 😊 my last and very much missed bike was a blackbird . Very deep sigh

[davelinks Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Great bike The Honda Super Blackbird CBR1100XX, I nearly bought one a few years back but found, when I got on it I couldn't lift my feet high enough to get them on the footrests! (pegs) 

With illness and lack of excercise due to too much sitting, my leg muscles had weakened & seized up. That's not the case now with the running😊

[Hidden in reply to davelinks]

It is/was a great bike, even went on track day on it  

I some how managed to curl my long legs up to ride it . 

Sadly just not possible to have a bike now.

[nhs2015 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

One of my son had a Blackbird CBR 1100. Was not allowed to park it next to the Beemers

[davelinks Graduate10 in reply to nhs2015]

Was that from members of the BMW owners club? They can be a tad biased! That's one reason I never joined the club!😕

[nhs2015 Graduate10 in reply to davelinks]

Hahaha, 🏍

[nhs2015 Graduate10 in reply to davelinks]

It was at home in the shed next to our two Beemers.......

[nhs2015 Graduate10]

Very very nice. Well kept and so clean and shining!

[poppypug Graduate10]
