Well, the day came that I felt the need to upgrade (and the wife agreed!). So, I have traded the M50 in and bought a BMW K1200LT. This will be much more comfortable on the long trips that I want to take.

I will not be leaving this site, since it is such a great place, but I will be hanging out in other places more.. *wipes tear away*

Like I said, I will still be around. I just wont be posting so much in this particular forum... Or maybe...

I will get pictures up as soon as I can get some taken. I was too busy drooling this afternoon..

jpwM50 · 07-29-2006, 10:04 PM

Boy that's a major step up, enjoy your new bike.
under my breath...(wish I had one)

Firedog · 07-30-2006, 02:14 PM

As promised, here are the pics..

She's one sweet bike. In less than 24 hours, I've already put almost 100 miles on her (I'd put more, but damn, it's hot out!).

Swick · 07-30-2006, 02:50 PM

WOW...talk about opposite ends of the spectrum!! It definately looks like it was made for those long distance trips.

**Trapper** · 07-31-2006, 08:08 AM

Beautiful. I love it... Gorgeous!!!

Did you get your raffle tickets yet? Newenough.com has some nice bike covers.

techgesture · 07-31-2006, 08:49 AM

That is one good looking bike though for it's style. Would you call it a touring-standard? I guess if your gonna leave an M50 behind, sure, the next best thing would be a BMW (hehe).

Yeah, it's more of a standard touring bike than their sport touring bikes.

I've said it before. It takes some real big stones to ride a bike that ugly.

j/k looks awesome!

Well, I see that someone is getting scratched of the holliday card list...

(I, as well, am kidding - I don't bother with sending out cards)

Xerses · 07-31-2006, 02:49 PM

Congrats on the upgrade. That is really an awesome ride.

BTW, I have been wondering... is this you??? Fire Dog Racing

No, that's not me. Funny thing is, I had to click the link to see - as if the linked words weren't enough! Oy! Work is melting my brains - must get out of here so that I can hope on the bike!

geoffsimpson · 07-31-2006, 04:52 PM

OK, so I was going to say that you were a sell out...but...that's a pretty tight looking bike. You win, congrats!

That's ok. I am a sell-out. Maybe not in this regard, but definately in others. Gee, kinda sounds like I'm proud of that fact. What the **** is wrong with me? I guess I'm just a little loopy after the ride home from work.
