I'm pretty sure the Short Bus would be the laughing stock! We might do well to leave it on pit and recovery duties. But if someone wanted to throw a free lift, tires and top end rebuilt my way I'd take it!
Consider the guys who ran the EMC class in a stocker Yota and finished. No laughing there! You can do it!!I'm pretty sure the Short Bus would be the laughing stock!

Folks, thanks for letting me join you all on the ride last weekend. I am well on the way to getting the minimum number of scratches needed for a properly used BMW GS bike. Special thanks to Mike for helping to wrestle my bike around during those moments of non-vertical posture.
So, I am plotting my return, this time with a lighter bike and better tread. It involves 5 steps:
1. Convince wife to let me keep my dirt bike - Done
2. Convince wife to join us on one of these outings - WIP, depending on Dave's charms for that one
3. Get dirt bike to idle properly after sitting around the garage as a ornament for the last 2 years - WIP
4. Get the nerve to do this again by drinking lots of beer - WIP, making great progress here!
5. Meet Dave a remote wilderness location at sunrise for the big 2 wheel SMACK-DOWN - TBD
Look forward to hanging out with you all again soon!
John, the dummy with the 1200GS
I can't imagine why she wouldn't be comfortable doing this stuffThe first scratch is always the hardest !
Thanks Chris, wife will turn up someday. She has yet to see the safety and comfort of the short bus!
