Sweet! :banana:

Hey..I don't see any dirt on those knobbies..what ? are you babying it or something?

So???? What's it like?

 

[Rick Froscheiser_imp]

Very nice. :clap: thanks for sharing the pictures.

 

[Ack-CB11_imp]

No dirt yet. On the road you can here and feel them at slow speeds. They are really stable in the corners though, the knobs are big and don't move around like a reg dirt tire.
Just did the trans fluid, taking another quick spin now.
Sun's out today

Finally — congratulations!

Let me know if you want to change your user name to Ack-R9T or some other variant.

Finally...sheese, what an ordeal. Like having a baby!

A guy I work with lived on Nantucket for a few years. I was telling him about you and your bike, and he immediately mentioned corrosion, rough roads, and something to the effect of "island fever".

Very nice bike, I hope you have many happy miles on it.

 

[the Ferret]

How about Brrr-ack-ack-ack ( sound of loud beemer in the dirt) lol

 

[ThomWill_imp]

Wow! That sure is purty! Not CB1100 purty, of course, but certainly good enough if you like that sort of thing.

Beautiful bike Congrats Ack :celebrate:

 

[Cormanus]

Congratulations Ack. What a great looking bike. Looking forward to hearing more about it.

 

[The Spaceman_imp]

Is there a dedicated forum for the bike yet?

 

[CB4ME_imp]

The US Geological Survey is reporting a yet unexplained 12" shift in the position of Nantucket Island.

Ack - take it easy on those fast starts with those agressive tires. Either that, or reverse direction every now and then.

Congrats Ack: very nice bike! I'm sure it was worth the wait! Ride safe & don't order any parts lol

Hey Paul! how do you like the Suspension? is it well damp for your weight? looks good & Congrats on the Bike! didn't even know that it came with knobbies....

 

[redbirds_imp]

Best looking Bimmer I've seen in a while. Well done!

What's it doing in the frame room of a telephone CO. LOL

 

[Lord Popgun]

[redbirds_imp]

Me too 'till I retired. My boss would have been upset if I had rolled my bike inside though.

It's no real dirt bike but it more then triples my riding area.
The syspension is great on the pavement, but stiff for the dirt.

They don't come with knobbies, the dealership thought I was crazy!

It does very well on dirt roads. See what I have to work with:

I'm thinking I'd go for a Kawasaki DRZ if I lived on Nantucket.
