I have been in Tuscon picking up a small lot of meteorite. Just a few minutes ago I just passed a blue K 1 with an enormous roundel on the faring and Washington license plates sitting on the shoulder of the road.

I investigated and the rider was no where to be found. I left the scene. If the rider is an owners group member, in need of help, and if you see this soon, post here and I will double back for you. I just happen to have ramps and straps with me.

It is 6:05 PM and I'm heading west.

Sure does. Would anyone here have Drake's cell number to be messaged to grandiosedelusionary? Maybe he could call him to see if things are alright.

I'm driving 90 MPH through the desert. He just passed me doing every bit of 120+ MPH sustained. So whoever it is, they are a-ok and going my way.

Yeah - that's Drake. Nothing like a little high speed shake down ride on a 20 year old bike...

Uh ha, sure what ever you say Duck. But it would be interesting to know just how many BMW s there are with that inconspicuous paint scheme.

Interesting, what does the Group think? Duck or no Duck......

Phil, you have it all wrong I think.

If it walks like an Owstrich, types like a Owstrich, has a sense of humor like an Owstrich, it is ..... ????

Me thinks the duck was trying to fly out there in the middle of nowhere thinking if he didn't get air nobody would notice what he was up to. He's gonna have to find a more remote place or try a camoflage paint scheme or something.

I believe thats the guy I sold a Cruise control to. He lives in Washington state, and was going to pick up a K1 he had bought. He sent me a picture and it had a very large BMW Roundel in the paint .
