Since relocating from the SF Bay area I just don't ride enough to justify. When I lived in SF I rode up/down the peninsula ( skyline / santa cruz, hwy 1, hwy 9, etc). In between jobs I took this bike through Northern Northern California, Utah, Death Valley and back. With the 1149cc engine this bike produces enough torque to haul whatever amount of gear you want to pack the panniers with. The BMW 1150RT frame is stiff enough perform through the twisties with ease.

I will also offer pick up service from Reno (RNO) airport if you want to fly in and ride bike home. |

BMW S1000RR drag bike
Fri, 05 Apr 2013Whilst stretched out bikes aren't that popular over here in the UK, you can certainly appreciate them a whole lot more more when you know they're going to be used at a drag strip. This video shows bike builder and ex-racer Roland Sands work his magic on a BMW S1000RR. Future plans are to increase the engine to 300bhp, and achieve speeds of 220mph.
Tested: Metzeler Sportec M5 Interact
Mon, 15 Mar 2010With its clever Interact technology Metzeler has created a tyre that has a varying carcass construction to alter how the rubber performs. Without going too deeply the M5 consists of five bands of belting that vary in stiffness. At the outer edges of the tyre the carcass is quite flexible, allowing the rubber to move around and generate more heat and therefore grip, while nearer the tyre’s centre the carcass is stiffer, reducing the rubber’s movement and decreasing its wear.
