Re: [BMWMc] Test ride on R1200S and R1200RT



Hello Jim,

Guru Steve says: The number of motorcycles owned by an enthusiast grows to 
occupy available garage space, and/or to consume available disposable funds.

It's the natural order of the universe. Few things can stand in the way of 
The Force. One of them is a Spousal Containment Field, a particularly nasty 
can of worms I choose not to open on this list at this time.
