Nice. Those wheels look very similar to M3 "contour" wheels.

Let me get the Camaro running first :-)

By the way, that is an Auburn diff in the garden. If you look towards the rear corner of the front porch, those are 1LE brake rotors. Used Camaro parts make for great yard artwork. My neighbors love me :lol:

The back yard has more....

SWEEET! Is that the one that was on Craigslist at a Dealership in Raliegh? I really tried to get my wife to get that but I couldn't make the sale, she thought it would be to big an powerful. We ended up getting a brand new (read way to much money) f650 low. Don't tell me if you are selling your old one, it will just piss me off!

Yes, it is the one from Craigslist. I was looking at either a 1150R or a Rockster. I paid a lot less than the asking price :-)

I plan to sell the F650 in spring. But I really like the F650...

The 1150R is about the same height and length as the F650. Not sure how much more it weighs than the F650. For top speed the 1150R will smoke the F650. But torque wise, it feels like a dead heat. But the R is so much smoother. Maybe I will get a K bike and complete the collection.

Are you and your wife planning on attending the BMWRO event at the Biltmore? It will be the first time the Biltmore will allow camping on site. Something like 4,000 BMW bikes....

When is the event at the Biltmore? We want to do a mountain trip this spring but she broke her foot (walking not riding a motorcycle) last friday and has some major issues, she might have to have surgery so we don't know when she will get back to full speed. Her new bike only has 250 miles on it, probably stay that way (unless I happen to borrow it some) for the next couple of months.
