I've been riding atop a BMW 1100GS for the past 7 years - usually every other day for commuting and then a big trip once a year with my friends. It is the perfect (motor)bike for me and I love it. Busy family life began taking its toll and I found myself exercising less and less the past few years. In late spring of this year I pulled out my 20 year old bicycle which I bought for myself as a teenager and began riding it, for fun, and then also once every week or two to get to work. There is something special moving about on ones own power and I find myself enjoying (bi)cycling more and more (funny how I forgot until now how much I liked to bike when I was younger...).
On the downside, my commute takes a good 25 minutes via bicycle (versus 12 on my GS) and oddly enough I actually feel safer on my motorcycle - perhaps because I move with the speed of traffic but also I think bicyclist receive even less respect than motorcyclists. I'll stick to my heated vest and motorbike on chilly days this winter, but am looking forward to using my brand new Hillborne on nicer days :) I'm really looking forward to the Spring and spending more time on my Riv. Just bought a tandem tag-along bike so I can bring the little ones on my adventures. -David Fairfield, IA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
