My apologies. [B)] I had the thread on Washington State being the first to outlaw the sale of gas powered vehicles by 2030 on my mind and thought that was the subject.

And now on to the Ducati...

You proved my point, David. :D Thank you. :)

When I did my SS1000, I took I-90. Why? Because it was efficient. High speeds. Straight roads. My fear was that I would fall asleep on it. ...

The forecast was for mid-70s, so John and I took off north to head for Semiahmoo. I've never been there before, and the name sounded great.

This is the general route.
...

I wouldn't hold your breath on the infrastructure being there. The Puget Sound area has some of the worst roads I've encountered in all my travels. I've seriously considered getting rid of the GT...

You have to be kidding.

Yes, I can get from Seattle to Spokane ...but only on the most boring routes.

So this has been in effect since 1936? It's only been 85 years and it hasn't happened...

The market for used cars will skyrocket. :D

The design reminds me of an Osprey with rotating wings to allow vertical takeoff and landing.

If they kept an engine design similar to the Subaru cars, BMW would have competition with the boxer...

I lost the OEM caps when I changed tires last time. So I think I'm good. ;)

FWIW, when I purchased a GS911 from a friend and registered it, that reopened all the VIN numbers.

I wouldn't touch it. The Garmin 660 was discontinued many years ago.

The Zumo XT is on sale for $399. If you are retired military, you can get a 10% discount from that price at Cycle Gear. Even...

I understand what you feel like. The location makes a difference too. Here in the Seattle area, the rain is usually a light rain. Occasionally, we get some downpours, but not often. Where you...

This was fun! I loved it!

I suggest riding. I've ridden out to a national rally for a previous bike I've owned, in Spearfish, SD a couple times now and it is on my schedule for next summer as well. Between Wisconsin and...

This would be good. It goes off-road as well as on road. A true dual-sport.

First, don't bother with a vest. Get the full liner. You have arms too.

Also, look on line for videos. They are doing some neat things with infrared cameras that show not all jackets are the...

Just signed up for an 18 day trip in July. Route to be determined, but it looks like if the border is open, we'll head north into Canada and Alaska. If not, we'll head south into the southwest...

Just for grins yesterday, I looked up "F800GT" in Cycle Trader and found 28. I also noticed that the prices varied greatly...like from $5500 to over $10K. Since they are all basically the same bike...

I suspect he's working on his post count. :D

Welcome from Puget Sound! Where are you located in the USA? There's a place in your profile where you can add a location. It makes a difference....

Personally, unless you can get the price down to around $5000, I'd wait. Beautiful bike, but that's about $2K more than I would expect for an 11 year old bike.

As a lowered bike, you'll find many...

It's great. I love mine.

This Touratech helmet looks interesting. Is it the one you have?

Thanks for the link. I watched the video and was impressed.

Check for the recalls if you're seriously looking at the ST.

Also, I'd look into things like the stator and the rear hub. There's some threads on both subjects in the ST's area of the forum. ...

James (jtvisions) and I looked at the weather, and after a long spell of rain, we saw our chance. So with promises of dry weather and sunny skies, I headed north to James' house to meet up with him....
