More slow speed practice

Getting the hang of it finally, no drops, no feet down, even managed to get to full lock several times. The new level of clutch control I’m learning is really paying off in confidence

Current livery on your RT?

Since I had to put “blank” front fairings on mine I leaned into the black/white combo with some polkadots. Probably not to everybody’s taste, but I thought I’d do something fun before returning them to Alpine White.

Anyone else work on slow speed maneuvers?

15+ years learning how to ride fast, and just a few months ago I started learning how to ride slow. It's a very real challenge, especially on a 625lb+ sport touring bike. I've dropped it a few times, no damage thanks to the Illiums. Do you do any slow speed practice?

Good (or bad) custom seat stories?

I bought this Sargent for my R1250RT before I bought the bike, I knew I was buying the bike and the seat came up on FB marketplace at a crazy good price so I snagged it. It’s a HUGE improvement over the stock seat, it’s so good I put one on my Versys, too

I’ve heard Corbin seats are hard, and that Russel Day Longs are fantastic but pricey. Got a preference? I’m sticking with Sargent after this one, great seat

Tank bags, yay or nay?

I personally can’t stand them, I have this really nice SW Motech that came with my R1250RT but I just hate having a bag on the tank, it’s gets in my way when I ride

Hard to not love this bike

Out working on my nemesis, slow speed maneuvers. Didn’t drop it today so that’s nice. Everything about this bike just sings to me

Angine… De Poitrine!

Had to put some “unpainted” fairings on since BMW doesn’t sell them in Alpine White any more. Decided to go Angine style for a while before I get them painted white
