r1150r on the Colorado 100,000 ft ride

[spaceweasel]

Had fun doing the BMW Colorado Owners club 100,000 ft ride this weekend. 100,000 ft of elevation change in ~400 miles. My seat was not up to a full day in the saddle. Need to find a better solution in the future, but the mountain passes were glorious. The bike held up well, but I shed a spark plug cover somewhere in the Rockies. The additional vibration from the new adv tires was only really noticeable at slow speeds, so I solved that problem by not going slow!

Nice looking bike, but how do you haul lots of stuff?

Congrats on your ride but that has to be one of the ugliest BMWs I've ever seen.

Soft dry bag saddlebags thrown over the rear. I'm planning to add a rear rack as well.

Thanks! The seat looks even worse in person.

I knew you'd take my comment as a compliment. More pics!
