...When I was looking at the one I bought, I was 18 and had a pocket full of cash from working in the oil field.  I wanted a bike that I could live off for a year or so and travel the states (I was a dreamy yout').  Looked at BMW's- the 650LS pretty hard- but the dealer (Lone Star Cycle Motive, in Austin) let me take the G5 for a test drive and that, as they say, was that.

Love this story!  :thumb:

I'm not keeping track of when you are leaving but if it's going to be hot when you do this ride, the Cal you found on market place has a very similar fairing to the SPIII and riding my SPIII in hot weather was just miserable. Even freeway speeds made it hot and forget about stop and go traffic.



Great cool to cold weather bike but high heat and humidity and I wanted to park the bike.
