Yeah, a thrown rod is never a cause for celebration, but I simply bought a low mile 1200 motor, so the swap will be quick. Once I saw the destruction inside the motor, I stepped back, priced a Harley crank assembly, asked my shop about the cost of rebuilding the crank assembly in the bike, and said fuggit.
Every time I check this thread I think, "these guys are killin me over here!!11!!". But I have been doing some riding lately of a slightly different sort and I feel the need to share.
This pic from a rest stop up on the hill, taking a sip from a bottle of schnapps and enjoying the scenery.
I've got most of the parts for the beemer gathered and am in the middle of putting it all together. Tire, fork seals, brakes and some misc. small stuff. I'll be riding the bike really soon.

I miss snowmobiling.
Snowmobiling was something I definitely enjoyed back in Ohio.
Great bike and I like the color.
Went for my first ride in 5 years today. Brought home a new toy.

Bought a GL 1500 last fall with almost 200,000k on it
cause I've always wanted one. Spent the winter chasing
a few things and doing basic service.
Not insured yet but put a few k on in our little village.
Won't need earplugs to ride this house!
Pick is from last fall when I brought it home.

Nice!
Interesting to see the Yamaha infestation that's starting to creep up around here...
Yesterday afternoon.
Roads clear and dry and salt free. 35degF.
Checked and pumped up tires, and Got out for a short ride.
Just went a ways out of town and back, and swung by the beach to see ice on lake and pier.
Only about 20 miles total.
Tuesday is suppose to be mid 40s, maybe more of ride then.
>>Later Note: now forcast for Tuesday is low 50s.

Ha, we have similar taste in vehicles.

Congratulations! A bit scary at first and then wonderful?
Thank you - I truly enjoy riding the LuxoBarge
But the 850 is great fun in a more visceral way

As a Canadian with little choice but to accept the weather, I always wonder why any American lives above the snow line. I hate the stuff.
