Hi guys!
It has now been close to 1 year since I sold my beemer and moved to the States.
Life here is very different from back home, especially for motorcyclists. The "Harley" culture is very strong, and during the last year I have only seen a single F650cs and one 1150GS!
I am stuck in Kansas, which is pretty much in the middle of nowhere...and the riding season is from March to about October.
Right now I am considering buying a old F650...they go for about $3000 here...but I have no garage to store the bloody thing in for winter !
After I graduate I plan on taking 2-3 months and touring the US on a bike....but that is still a good year away !
Cheers Riaan

yip...lots Harleys and trailers here....problem with Kansas is that I am 9-10 hours from anything intersting! A crazy thing is that you do not have to wear a helmet here....not even on the highway. To quote the kiddie from the movie The Sixth Sense :" I see dead people."

But the speed limit is like 55mph or 88km/h isn't it?
May as well walk. Or ignore it, of course..... ;D

I am heading down to PE in about 2-3 weeks. Does anyone know where I can rent a motorcycle for a week or so?
