So I was able to find a good deal on an R, and decided to pull the trigger. I took some pictures of my little trip, and thought I would share.

Thanks to Mellilimoto for all that they did!


Here we are after we got the 2 bikes loaded up. All set ready to head home.

A closer look at the beasts

Precious cargo

Installing the Termignoni system. That was fun!!

All done

Finished product, all ready for the Tail of the Dragon meet on the 10th.

Since you can't possibly ride both at the same time, how about I ride the R for you?

Enjoy them!

It wasn't so bad, but I took my time. As you can see I also did it in the comfort of my second bedroom

Thanks everyone!

Any specific questions? They drop a ton of weight as well as brake amazingly. I would consider them a good purchase. Very important to break them in properly. It takes a few hundred miles.
