    Umm...neither could I. Blue to red = acid or is there a subtle twist here that I missed?
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    Could you expand on the broken drive problem? I have an 1150GS.

    The “Long Way Round” and “Long Way Down” docos illustrate well the capabilities of these bikes. They handle thousands of miles of the toughest terrains on Earth. Not without issues, but they do pretty well considering the demands of those trips.
