Great pics, thanks for sharing! (I didn't know you could fly!)
I don't believe they will remove these as they are personal, mine were images of others hosted on various other sites where I merely use the link to them.
Anyhow, I won't post unnecessarily as the thread already got too much chit-chat already. I'd like to keep it for photos and related, accompanying text only.
Guys, after 35+ years of riding almost exclusively street, for 250,000 miles, and never been down (knocking LOUDLY on wood as I type this!) I sold my bike. It was a 2005 R1200RT. For my type of riding these days it was too big a bike. Most of my riding was committing to work, and the RT was too big to effectively lane split here in the SF Bay Area traffic. I’m retired now.
My plan is to go electric, and my wife (who enjoys riding 2-up with our intercom), won’t let my buy one until our house remodel is completed. Or nearly so. I want a Zero dual sport, or similar. I’ll also get a rear carrier for my Jeep Grand Cherokee, to take it on our road trips. For the ultimate in overland exploring!
Thanks, Echo - Riding it from the Eagle Mountain Lake area of North Texas to Rogers, AR next week for the Bikes, Blues, and BBQ rally with some local riders. I still have my 2013 Honda CB1100.

Congrats on surviving Bay Area drivers! (I've ridden there.)
I hear you on the bikes getting too heavy, as we get older. I'm only riding smaller/lighter bikes now, too. No more Harleys or big road burners. My sportbike days are over, too. I rode a 330 lb bike yesterday, in fact.
Now, let me give you some input regarding the Zero DSR.
They're FAST. Deceptively so.
If you "blip" the throttle at a red light, it'll "shoot" you into the intersection. Whether you want to go there or not. Many Harley riders will need to retrain themselves for this!
They're QUIET.
Yes, they'll "wheelie" if you want. Go test ride one. The prices of all electric vehicles is quite strong. Mainly due to the $7500 Fed. Tax Credit. for the Zero. Don't recall what the State tax credit is. See your Zero dealer for details. (Jeeze, I sound like a commercial!) They ARE fun!
