I have a sneaking suspicion that, were I to put 'HOG EATR' on my 900RR,
the bike would have a *very* short lifespan on a public street.  Ah, well.

Anyone besides me interested in having an Ohio DoD gathering sometime

tour.  I'd like to see our plaque and maybe meet the man that's responsible
for my DoD patches/stickers/lighter/key-fob.

I can understand your dismay. Remember that things do break, regardless
of where, or who, your bike was made (by). Consider this point before you
get too down on BMW: You've got a 3 year, unlimited mileage warranty. So,
yes, it broke. But, yes, it will get fixed. And you'll probably get bored
of the bike before it breaks again (and no wisecracks about it being a
boring bike:-}).

Hi Ed, nudge nudge wink wink.  Excuse the delay, had to ride my

On the other hand, I see from the other threads on this group that we
*do* still have that problem!  Fortunately it looks like the Leather
Goddess is holding down the fort.  Sad that a fort needs to be held

FJ1200 wins hands down on looks.
After hear so many people rave about the ST1100,
I went to Houston and had an opportunity to look
at the ST1100.   It was a total downer.  I am 
surprised that  people even have a problem deciding
between the two.  If you want a touring bike, go for
ST1100, if you want a sport bike go for FJ1200.

Any problems ?

Everyone told me that only the vest was needed because "if you keep your
body warm, your hands will stay warm". Well, that's fine in theory, but
I must be some kind of cold-blooded freak of nature because my hands
still got cold even though my body was toasty warm. Adding the gloves
made all the difference for me.

Get the vest no matter what. Get the thermostat so you can use the vest
in less that arctic conditions without having to juggle a switch on &
off all the time. If you tend toward frozen fingers, get the gloves too.
With the vest & gloves, I've never felt the need for the chaps.

I went with Widder because they were the only company making gloves &
thermostats. I've heard that Eclipse is selling a thermostat this year,
but I haven't heard anything about gloves.
