Rt 657, Greenwood Church Road, running north across the South Anna River just north of Richmond.

At Rt 54 and the South Anna River

Right in my neck of the woods. I can't count how many times I have crossed over that 657 bridge. It's much nicer since it's been widened to 2 full lanes.

You both are right close to me. I just purchased a consigned R1100R from Morton's and love it. We'll have to get together sometime and make a journey together. I live in the West End.

My 2000 R1100RT

This is how I bought it, but I am making a few changes so I have something to keep me from going bonkers this winter. Looking forward to going to Gillette this year!

BMW Phoenix

Here is my Son-In-Law's BMW Phoenix. Just about at every intersection or gas station he has people ask him what is that he is riding. I think this and the Montauk are two of the greatest cruisers ever designed. I am just sorry they have been discontinued, again these cycles were probably a victim of BMW's marketing strategy.

...Send him over to check out Chromeheads.org if he hasn't been there yet!

I agree with your comment, too.

Yellow

I have a yellow GMC Canyon and my Son-In-Law has a BMW Pheonix with the Yellow (a few entries above). I think it is a great motorcycle color. I can't but help believe it is safer and yellow is a color of optimists. Did you paint it yourself?

vines · Dec 17, 2007

The fairing was delivered with primer.
I had it painted to match my helmet.
It has increased my confidence that the guy up at the stop sign is going to see me.
The color is not so effective at night but during the day you can easily spot me 1/4 mile away.
I read on this thread about guys wanting to 'blackout' their bikes.
Doesn't seem the way to go, but I guess that's just my opinion.

Black Outs

I think that "black outs" are OK during the day, but at night black seems like a dangerous color.

I be told that the biggest risk to us is head on and rear end collisions. When people turns into us the color does not really matter as they just see the front of the bike. That is why I normally have my brights on at all times with yellow running lights. White running lights may leave the driver thinking that he sees a car far away. I like the engine LED sets, but they are illegal in most states. That extra color really makes a cycle stand out at night.

vines · Dec 18, 2007

You're right, the bright color didn't keep me from getting rear-ended.
But from the front and the side I am very visible during the day.
That's a good idea about extra running lights.
I guess those help during the day too, huh?
Don't know about the yellow ones.
I'll have to check that out.

RJM2096 · Dec 18, 2007

Reguardless, you have a beautiful bike. The yellow is sharp and should be easy to see, except for blind idiot drivers without insurance.

I have a safty page on www.cyclecranks.com

Check it out and see what you think.

Gray 2004 R1150RT...resting in it's living room....

cowboykyle · Jan 10, 2008

after a bath... last spring.

bluehole · Jan 10, 2008

Holy Moly! Anyone else catch a glimse at DPeakMD's garage floor? It might as well have been a living room floor. You feather dust the RT before you put it back into the "clean room".

Seriously, you keep that place clean...wish mine looked that nice.

Won't take him too long to figure out if he's got an oil leak.
