    2002 BMW k1200RS help

    I'm going to go look at a 2002 K1200RS tomorrow. I've never owned a BMW and not sure what to look for. It's all stock with 16K original miles. Looking for something that's more sporty than the harley and more comfortable thank the GSXR. This looks like it fits the bill. Anything I should be...

    Moto books / reading

    Time for better gear

    After putting another hole in the knee of my textile pants, it's time to upgrade to leather. I've never worn full leathers before and am not sure where to even start with sizing and such. What should I be looking for in a decent suit. What should I be looking out for?

    Paint shop on the coast

    Put new skins on the GSXR and bought another tank. I've tried doing the garage paint job twice and it hasn't worked out so well. Any recommendations for a decent paint shop on the coast? Don't need anything fancy, just want it shot black.
