[QUOTE="Nanotech9, post: 823370, member: 676"] thats why i've got loud pipes.... LOL just kidding. stock pipes on the BMW. lets not get that argument going again. theres not a whole lot thats "safe" about motorcycles. The stuff i've done makes running 80 posting on facebook look mild. Not to brag, but when you become accustom to certain higher levels of risk, other things seem hardly noteworthy. I did try to keep it to the looooong straights with no traffic where hands weren't needed to steer, and visibility was in the MILES. i.e. limiting the possible risk to only myself, and not others. I promise i evaluate all risks i can think of when riding and if i choose to accept some that don't necessarily put others at risk... well, i'm a big boy and i'll accept the consequences if my judgment is wrong. gsarg - that bike is sweet. the big boss at work has one. Very cool - same motor as my bike, just less ground clearance. I think BMW's are a little ugly still, but they serve their purpose soooo well that it makes them look much better :) [/QUOTE]
