New Tires Being Installed on the RS

[Ray]

With the comments so far I’m so happy I did not post the other photos as I delivered this precious cargo as Bruce calls it round, rubber and black (he says rebates). Hauling something this special on the best color bike BMW has ever produced required a couple minutes of thought. I wore my Sunday best color matched (blue and gray) riding suit, white gloves, black boots and blue and white helmet. Of course the shop towel was washed properly before using to protect the seat, tires and my riding gear. Black straps were chosen over the white ones my bike was delivered with as I did not want to dirty the white ones. You will also observe there is one tire information sticker shown on the left side and the other one is identical to the right. This allowed me to ride up alongside (usually they are passing me) a vehicle or motorcycle so they could take a photo of the sticker and get their own. You all of course just logged on and there it was. Great marketing move, wasn’t it? And as far as lining those bikes up properly if you going be part of this spirited group of RS owners things must looked organized even if they usually aren’t. Offers to ride my bike and use those tire sections on the outer edges I never use will be considered.

Thanks. You do have an unusually good sense of aesthetics for a farm boy, and you know how to use it to bring out the best in folks.

(Of course, I am reminded that on a subsequent trip, we were not even able to simultaneously get all the bikes into the same parking lot - let alone lined up - for a follow-up photo. Which raises another rule - if you cannot do it right..., then don't.)
