    Most of them will just be upset because their shaft drives can't wheelie, I expect.

    Why can't a shaft drive wheelie?
    The greatest pleasure of my recent life has been speed on the road. . . . I lose detail at even moderate speed but gain comprehension. . . . I could write for hours on the lustfulness of moving swiftly.

    I wave at everybody.

    Some do look at me a bit strange.

    Beemers rule.

    The BMW wave is easy. It's the heel clicking on a bike that's a bitch.


    No no - Can't wheelie according to the The Fizzicks of KB - and the intarnet.

    Ah, musta been one of the chain-drive conversions. You'd never know just from looking at them, etc.

    Theose Starboyz must've been experts at photoshop. They must have photoshopped the broken R1100S taillight lens back on before they to it back to the dealer.
    They waved quite regularly too.

    BMW owners only wave in summer. They like to keep their pinkies toasty on their heated grips during winter.

    BMW GS are fairly straightforward to wheelie but its not big or clever.

    Now that they are over 90-100 rwhp it has got a lot easier.

    The clutch slip, long wheelbase and modest power were more impediments to lofting the front on the older models.

    P.S. I wave or nod FWIW
