Getting even further into the dark side. with a Suzuki...

[bacaruda]

It just happened. I got me an old suzuki GSX-R 1100 90 in yoshimura Black and red. Not perfect, but in pretty good original condition. Roars, Shakes and smells like gun powder. It's Jabberwocky...
The plan is to have it like a long term renovation project as there isn't much to do on the Beemer during cold dark winter days.

As for the RS, we had a nice tour to Tuscany and lake Garda this summer. I rode to Italy where the wife met up in Milan. Got some rain but the sun showed up sometimes as well. As a touring bike it holds its own. Comfy seat, cruise control, low frequency rumble and a MRA vario screen that worked realy good. 1000 km/day was no problem. BUT,,, I realy missed the extra power that the GTR could show up on autobahn. Much lower pace with Brunhilde than the mighty GTR. (maybe thats a good thing after all...)

The BMW OEM top box is way to expensive and small so i wanted a GIVI V47 instead. As the GIVI adapterplate is pretty ugly and places the box way to much forward I designed my own plate and had a small prototype serie manufactured. Got good feedback from the RS forum so now I have produced a batch of 24 plates that I have for sale. Will post separately about those as I intend to make one for the GTR1400 as well.
Started a company to deal with the motorcycle parts: Ulfberht components.

No major update on the GTR for 17 so Ill stick with the Beemer another year.
Maybe we will finaly take a trip over to your beautiful island this coming summer.

So true. When 3rd world war hits the earth the only thing left will be cockroaches and GSX-R engines. Got to have a backup for the German lady. A friend got a 2 year old BMW S1000R, and he changed the starter button (complete right electrical cluster ) 3 times. Now he's finaly learned that he got to put on plastic bags over the handles when cleaning the bike..... I do that as well on my beemer as a precaution.
