    How did you learn to ride?

    My Dad taught me how. He took me out on the lake in the boat, put me in a burlap sack with 2 cinder blocks, tied it up and threw me in the water. Once I got out I could ride a motorcy..... wait a minute! I think that's how he taught me to ski too!!! My Dad did actually teach me to ride at age...

    Is the new Beemer not fugly?

    Danke. Es geht runter wie öl. I work for the Department of the Army as a Civilian. I work in Pirmasens which is about 30KM from K-Town. The US does still use Grafenwöhr extensively. Matter of fact I was assigned in Vilseck for 9 years 95-04. I loved it there and I wish the job that I have now...

    Chimpanzee attack

    According to what I have just read the Chimp was sick to start with. The owner gave it Xanax, which in Humans can cause violent episodes for people who were off balance to begin with. Ripped that poor lady's face off.

    Is the new Beemer not fugly?

    Wheaton, (For you native German speakers, this is my best kindergarten German. I know the punctuation, capitalization, and gramatik are wrong.) Meine frau wolte eigentlich eine R1200GS Adventure haben. Trotz BMW US Military discount und ohne extras, es war immer noch $16,500. Koffer...

    Is the new Beemer not fugly?

    The sheer cost and the laundry list of (seemingly) unresolved problems is what kept me away. I picked up my used '06 FJR for about 1/3 the price. To each his own though. To me... same as it ever was.

    "Baehr" Seats and other accessories

    I stopped in today at Baehr, but I didn't have much time. They do not sell whole seats outright. They need a core and build your seat from it. They did have an example that I was able to see, and it does look good. However without a bike to mount it on I cannot make a full assesment. More to...

    "Baehr" Seats and other accessories

    This company is about a 30 second walk from the front door of where I work to their front door. Well it would be if there weren't fence in the way. Does anyone have a seat from this company? I see on their website (Click here German with English language option) that they have seats for the...

    Euro Tour 2009 (?)

    I know the Oberpfalz quite well. I lived in Hirschau (near Amberg) for 9 years. I would much rather live there than here in RP. Optimally would be where my wife is from which is about 20 km from Garmisch-Partenkirchen. I will check out the German FJR site, and maybe even sign up there...

    Euro Tour 2009 (?)
