Nothing for nothing, but who mounted your rear tire? I could be wrong,
but that looks like a directional tread, mounted backwards.

It looks like a Pirelli FRONT tire mounted BACKWARDS, to me......
No, it's a Metzler rear tire. But Thunder made a good catch on the
rotation.

Hmmmmm.... must be the LaserTec..... most rears omit the center
groove....


I wonder if herring uses two cycle or four cycle oil, and whether he
winterizes it with wd-40?

Thanks, Wayne. Right now I'm not interested in putting more into the
market. This is purely a CD vs mortgage decision.
It is really even simpler than that. You are betting CD vs real
estate. Personally I like the security of not having a mortgage. One
less bill I have to pay.
I think a lot is psychological. I also like the idea of not sending
the money to the mortgage company each month. I'd rather be sending it
to my savings or investments.

'Course, I'd probably end up with a new motorcycle!

German this time?

Probably not. I like the BMW, but I also like the Honda ST1300. Looks
wise there's not much difference:

Costwise, the BMW is about $3K more than the Honda.
Reliability/serviceability wise, I'd have to do some serious
reviewing.

Lastly, there's 'people-wise'. The Moto Guzzi crowd is a great group
of people. Attending MG rallies is always like old home week. Shoot,
in another 15 years I may get the 'oldest rider' award, who knows.

You said new so I took that as a 2010 model.

Yeah, I hit the wrong button. That's what I meant.

I'll probably die owning the bike I've got. It should last another
twenty years. I'll probably go first, or together with the bike if
Harry has his way.

If we have our way, Harry will choke on stumpys dick.

If you had your way, you might have graduated from high school and kept
on growing past the age of 11, shorty.

A ten year old would feel stupid positing that.
