Bmw scrambler

Post by Ridercam »

I wasn't sold on the whole 9t concept but this It looks right and is minimal... I kinda like it as it would be a complement to my airhead.

I always brake in corners and think how I am going to get home if I really mess up. When I get home, I wished that I hadn't used my brakes and should have ridden a bit further.

Stock R1200R is about the same weight as the Triumph Scrambler. I'm sure that bike is lighter.

I went to Starbucks the other day, just to flex my Liberal muscle.

Their hot chocolate sucks! The stuff out of the machine at work tastes better.
And the service person heated up my coffee cake, put it in a bag and handed it to me, and then looked at me not moving and realized he had not made my hot chocolate yet!

Would it have been wrong for me to pull my tip out of the tip jar?

Reminds me of a joke: "That movie was so bad, I want everybody's money back!"

So? They're all over weight for "scramblers".
