no bob
I 70 as in Interstate 70 super slab highway ......as in no fun just boring mile munching road

[EvilBetty]

LOL

Yes... I-70...

Straight flat slab... 70mph... covered in KS State Troopers doing nothing but running radar.  I feel sorry for those guys.  I know they have better things to be doing.  Kansas's #1 revenue generating practice.

That said they never even blinked at us cruising +10 the whole way.

Who's to say the information in that "one pic" wasn't left over from the original owner?  I'll never tell :)

But the other side of the pass where something like that might have been possible was one of the best rides of my life.

Never mind, just a poor attempt at humour  :oops:

We all know that to do a170 you need a 'Bird.... 8)

[EvilBetty]

lol...

The whole trip I saw 3 Bonnie's, 4 Sprint STs, and a T-Bird.

The rest were BMW 650, 800, 1200 GS's, mostly.  Some sport cruises too.  And a bunch of Gold Wings.

And just a couple Hardleys.

Then I got back into Kansas and saw about 4,244 Harleys before I stopped counting.

so??? how ya like it?

Loads of power and a very firm suspension.

Oh and a way high seat....which is fine for ya!!!!  8)

[EvilBetty]

I'm lovin it.  I'm not sure if the seat is any higher. But it is a hell of a lot easier to back into the garage than the Girly.  Seat may be more narrow at the nose.

Haven't ridden much at night yet, and when I did I was stuck in my tinted visor.  I've heard the headlight on the 1050 is crap.

I took corners on that bike at twice the speed I would have dared on my 955i.  It was probably capable, it just didn't feel as confident... or I didn't as much as I do on the 1050.

Great stuff, except for the dipped beam, main is not bad. Adjusting it will get you a bit more but ultimately it's going to be an HID dipped at least or Aux Fog lamps to stop the buttock clench when you have to dip it in the twisties.

Nice EB, did you go in the Brit car so you could tow it home with the Tiger if you had too..... :lol:  :lol:

[Sin_Tiger]

Never mind, just a poor attempt at humour  :oops:

You've got John Cleese worried  :lol:

did you go in the Brit car so you could tow it home with the Tiger if you had too..... Laughing Laughing

Wot's with the Pom bashing, did one steal your tinnie  

It's not as bad to move around as I expected, not difficult after a Vara  :roll:

[EvilBetty]

There's always a backup plan...

[oxnsox]

Crikey chasps, I thought at least 1 of you may have pointed out it wasn't really a British mot'a....

[EvilBetty]

We're from the US.  British... German... same same :)

In the same way that Oz doesn't really have a cricket team  

Sorry for the HJ EB, still having fun  :D

[EvilBetty]

HJ away... this thread lost it's usefulness after the first few replies :D
