The only bad thing about getting lost in Wisconsin is that you have to get un-lost at some point.... Arcadia area is my favorite, twisties forever...
 
Tnx, Mike

Old & New!

Got started riding BMW's back in the 70's on a R60/2 and in the 80's decided to hack it because the bike already had factory sidecar tabs on the frame. Rode the /2 rig since then on a regular basis, but for long trips, took my K75, then up graded to a R1150RT, and then to a R1150GS, which I sold three yrs ago when I went sailing offshore for 2 yrs. Rode the /2 rig to the West Bend Rally with friends from Northern MI and had a blast, but decided I needed something for longer rides.

Last Spring found a used 2004 R1150GSA, and hacked it, and now have ridden over 5K with the new rig.....and what a pleasure! I am keeping my /2 rig because I built it, and my grandkids love it, but the new rig is my new best friend, especially because I can pull the bike off the rig in about 20min (4 bolts, one electrical coupler, one hydraulic coupler, and a pin for the swaybar) and head down the road (or offroad) on two wheels.

Hope you enjoy the pic. Ride safe and see you in Tenn in 2009.:usa

Terrific!

Terrific, Larry -- best reason of all is because the grandkids love it -
and if you built it and love it, how can it get better than that.
Beautiful, fun rig!
best,
 
Fun on Soooo Many Levels!
