Nice bike Django! I love the looks.

From the Internet: "The word Bad is normally used as a prefix (Bad Vilbel) or a suffix (Marienbad, Wiesbaden) to denote the town in question is a spa town. In any case, Bad as a prefix is an official designation and requires governmental authorization (which may also be suspended if a town fails to maintain the required standards)."

I miss group rides. Hopefully I'll get a few more in before the Corps makes me retire.

German `Bad' translates to `bath' in English.

Thanks Whiskey!

If you're lucky they will make you retire before you have to take the new sensitivity training...

Sensitive Marines. I don't even know what to say about that.

Looks like fun, especially on your new bike.

Oxymoron is the term you're reaching for, popgun.

Django, I like the look of your new bike. I hope to hear lots more about your mutual adventures. You certainly wouldn't have reached 200+ kph on the CB1100.

Thanks CIP. Motogeezer has reported 132 when on board a couple of times. If I remember rightly he thought that might be about it on the road and not on the dyno. I'll never know from personal experience.

What bikes are popular with your group?

Well, considering, that our group evolved from some K100/K75 lovers about 15 years ago, it's no wonder, most of them ride some Beemer. I came to this group of regulars with my K1100RS 6 years ago. At that time, this was a pure Flyingbrick group (K100/K1100/K75).

Currently most common among us is the K1200RS or GT, then there are still some older K models (K100, K1100, K75) and already some newer K models like K1200S or K1300GT, which don't have any in common with the older flyingbrick K models.

There are also boxers, two of us ride a R1200GS, one a R1200R and one an older R1100.

For now I'm the only regular on a Honda. But others are thinking about to move on to a Crosstourer e.g. One has a Triumph already.

Most of my friends expressed they'd like my new motorcycle.
