I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks...not feeling down and out, but not sharp, like I'm in a fog...

I'm feeling the same.  I caught a bug when I was in the Philippines and passed it to Teresa...we just started feeling better, then the pressure change from our return flights affected our sinus and ear canals...giving us that oh-so-special foggy feeling!  

Meanwhile, we're at the airport in San Francisco, trying to nurse our ailments away at the Anchor Steam Beer Brewery Pub in the terminal.

Did a test ride on an 848 this afternoon.  Watching motorbike racing this evening.... and old Sopranos DVDs.

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

In case you haven't seen this video of a multi-million dollar garage.  It's not as inspiring as Jay Leno's collection...but the garage structure/technology itself is impressive.

Thanks!  Got the beers tonight.  The bike still needs to go get the follow up dyno run. Then scheduled to get the final resets and checks next Sat morning at South Seas. Will put on the nose & side fairings later that afternoon.

Then a fast ride ( boy, is that thing faster than that R1100S or what? ) followed by some really good beers and cigars!   Dolph

I would enjoy an underground garage. 


Right now, I'd enjoy any garage, but underground is better!

Had SSC install the Q2's and enjoyed a great ride home!  Nothing out of the ordinary....it just felt good to be back on the bike.  Unfortunately, I've only been in the saddle a hand full of times since I left for the Philippines back in late March! Tires should be scrubbed in by Sunday...praying for sunshine w/ cool trade-winds.  

Now, I just need to install the R&G weighted bar-ends and cotton-spools on the rear swingarm.

Are you telling us that the new 2012 model, with all the updates, still has that hand numbing vibration in the bars & grips?
