If I stand up, completely quiet. I was thinking the Givi topcase mount was going to be first to use my V46 instead of my JCWhitneys, but I think a windshield mod will have to trump that. I hate buffeting. <br /><br />BTW: i love "continental distance crushing machine" such an awesome mental image!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-46780702575178314992010-11-11T17:33:37.028-06:002010-11-11T17:33:37.028-06:00Good ride report there Chris, sounds like you need...Good ride report there Chris, sounds like you need to adjust that windshield a bit higher if possible though. Think of it of the first of many farkles to be fought for that continental distance crushing machine of yours. Take big sips from the BMW koolaid, you'll be fine.<br /><br />dom<br /><br /><a href="http://redlegsrides.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Redleg's Rides</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-14097-Colorado-Motorcycle-Travel-Examiner" rel="nofollow">Colorado Motorcycle Travel Examiner</a>redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-43920066982424092532010-11-11T16:23:16.602-06:002010-11-11T16:23:16.602-06:00Richard: It was a great day for a ride on two whee...<b>Richard:</b> It was a great day for a ride on two wheels. They just changed the weather guess for this weekend to ice and snow in the 30s. I'm actually looking forward to it. <br /><br />The seat is a couple inches taller than my SV, but actually a few inches lower than my WR250R. On paper, the 1150gs is 550lbs. It doesn't feel like it when riding it. I get a taste of the weight when backing it into the garage. If you haven't ridden one, I'd suggest it. Then again, maybe not. You might buy one like I did. :)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-42869500207846841682010-11-11T13:06:58.803-06:002010-11-11T13:06:58.803-06:00It looks like you had great weather for a ride (on...It looks like you had great weather for a ride (on two wheels). We are down into single digit temperatures and ice on the roads. <br /><br />I've looked at the R--GS bikes but they've struck me as heavy and tall but those that own them seem to love them especially the R1150GS models. <br /><br />RichardRichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.com
