Yes sir, as a prerequisite to riding my old bike!

Nice!  My wife dresses out her horses in Lime Green and Purple, but hasn't mixed the colors together.  Looks good.

I never owned a 1990s bike.  I jumped from 1985 to 2001.

Thanks!

Now a guy is selling me a 2008 600RR with 4000 miles on it for less than a cost of a old Hyundai on bald tires.  I don't need a third bike, but geez a track weapon for peanuts I can't pass up!

And each is a street bike, geez, you must live in Florida where dirt riders wear dockers as foot wear on rides ;)

Actually FL is HUGE active all over the state for ADV/off-road/MX/enduro and AMA hare scramble events.  I've been eyeing an ADV bike like your beemer too but i just like the mad pow-ah and knee dragging on the tar-mac!

There are ADV folks telling me they know routes from east side to west side of FL and never hit pavement except to 'cross" streets in rural areas.  I find that hard to believe but haven't followed them.  I soild my Honda 650 because I just didn't have time to fool with it so have been hesitant to pick up an 800GS beemer

I hear ya Steve if I didn't have the terrain I have I'd probably have a 1200 for getting somewhere with grave, trees and hills.  Good on ya for living the "just one more" way of life ;D

If I may ask, why are you going to repack the exhaust? I repacked the Two Brothers slip on on my Concours, it was a total waste of time, the old packing was just find after 40K miles.

I hope to decrease noise a few db, I've had great luck with doing it in the past.
