Put down a deposit on a 2014 HP4 competition. Blue is my favorite color and the HP4 looks so much better than the s1000rr IMO. I dont know what it is but the bike calls me. BMW makes this machine so easy to own. My Stealership sells ducati and bmw and easy ride from bmw has these bikes flying out of there over the Duc.
I love my pani, put a ton of work into it now its time to add to the stable.
 
i dont know how true this is but here is what i was told. production around sept oct. delivery around dec jan. i saw 2 2013s today both getting work done. one was a base. one was the comp. very nice bikes. the base hp4 was next to my 1199. no where near as good looking but there is something about it. i think its the paint job.

Yeah, no comparison in the looks department. I haven't ridden the HP4, but I've ridden the s1krr. If you haven't already been on the track with it, wait until you ride it. Confidence inspiring, very good at just about everything. Made me look/feel like a better track rider than I am because I think it hides rider mistakes fairly well. The pani is the inverse, I think it makes you look like a worse rider than you really are because you have to be so precise. Except the very good to expert riders perhaps. I love the pani though and I am committed to riding her well ;)

Marcus Dairy in Danbury? It was next to the Danbury mall and on summer weekends several hundred bikers would meet there... Not sure what that has to do with Alpo. It wasn't a horse farm :D

well marcus is my dogs name so i said i have plenty of dog food .
 
Ahh Marcus Dairy. One of the classic bike environments in history where you dont see just black leather vests and club colors. How I remember those days well back in the 80s and 90s my man! Good times!

Maybe I can dog up some old pics from that era and embarrass myself with the look!
