Photobucket definitely gets worse by the day. For stuff like this I just directly upload to the post. So much easier and no work finding a host.

Don't hit the image button at all. When you hit reply down at the bottom there's a couple buttons so you can directly upload from your device

Same! I was dodging scattered showers and had a great 150 miles. Without thinking to take a look here.

I did a big loop out Northwest from Houston and hit some of the better roads in the forest and such before cutting south and coming back in from the Southwest and cutting through town, Houston has maybe a dozen or more major institutions of higher learning and I was near most of them at some point this afternoon.

Damn, I love the BMW R1200GS Adventure I bought last week. Such a great bike. Even with 50/50 street/offroad tires and not pushing it too hard I was dragging my boots and eliminated all hints of chicken strips. Such a confidence inspiring bike. It's a pig at a standstill and feels super top-heavy righting it up off the sidestand, but once you're rolling the pounds magically disappear. Throw the electric suspension into sport mode on the hard setting and you can drag the damn hard bags.- Then once you're cruising you put it in comfort mode and it's like a Goldwing.

I love my cruisers or at least my VTX but If I had it to do again I would probably buy a GS instead of my Victory bagger.

Mine is a 2013 - the last and best of the oil cooled GSAs. It was "only" $13,500 with 4,000 miles and a couple grand worth of uogrades - much more palatable than $25k for a loaded out new one.

Keep an eye out and there's deals to be had.

Do it. You'll thank me.

Just bought a 2013 Duke with just under 7000 miles a week or so ago, first bike at 40 years old. It's been a blast so far, I'm already too comfortable on it. Looks like you deleted the fender, I'm looking at a kit now, any other mods?

They're fun bikes, not the fastest thing I've ever owned but the light weight makes them fun for around town.

I put a power commander and the KTM tuning kit on it, which came with a new air box, cam and akrapovic exhaust. And then had it dyno tuned...it made a huge difference in power. Check out KTM Twins, they have lots of parts for them.
