My best 100 miles since May heart surgery and subsequent sepsis
« on: October 12, 2016, 03:24:52 PM »
Beautiful day, and the R100GS ran flawlessly.  And I was working pretty well myself!  Even the obnoxious vibes the bike picked up after having the top end refreshed a few years ago seems to be smoothing out so that it isn't so intrusive. 

Today, life was good!

Perhaps those "vibes" weren't ever from that GS ... but from your now-fixed ticker!  :laugh:

Glad you are back in the saddle.

Glad to hear you're enjoying your ride, even IF it's a BMW  :laugh: (Hey, I rode my K75 today.)

Hope this is just the beginning of lots more miles on it!

Glad to hear you're on the mend, and you're riding again,,, sounds like a new bike might not be needed after all,,, it was a good try though,lol.

Yikes -- "subsequent sepsis" sounds like someone should've washed their hands.
