    Damn. That is sad. You should sell it to me.
    There was an 888 in Columbus, OH around 2002 that I never did buy.
    Hope you bring her back to life.

    I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. Had an old 175 stolen from the side yard and the DMV makes you go through a bunch of hoops to get it out of your name. Forget it. Just leave it in my name and keep sending me the non-operational paperwork. It's been this way for over 10 years.

    I had this 2018 1200RT with 4K miles fall in my lap. I'll replace my 2010 with it. The new one has all the stuff on it but is only marginally better on the road than the 2010. A little surprising given it is a new design motor.
    On the road with it this week to do some rides in Western NC and TN.

    I was just starting the planning this past March and stopped because things still weren't clear. Now I'm too late to do it this year but I want to get it on the schedule for next year. As I get closer, it would be great to get your input on which of my ideas are good and those that are terrible.
    I think Anchorage as a starting base, stay on pavement or improved roads, no camping, 300 miles/day max. 5 days total.
    I've only been to Alaska a few times a long time ago. I was doing communications work on the Aleyeska pipeline so I wasn't in Anchorage much. Pretty interesting people.

    that looks to me like a 2002 748 base.

    Well, not really, sitting on headers was beyond my riding skills.

    I had a 4000 mile BMW r1200GS fall in my lap. Once you get used to the tallness it’s super comfy. I’m doing a trip to Michigan and I may take this instead of my touring oriented r1200rt.

    Those are great bikes. They don't feel top heavy when rolling along.

    You're right, underway it feels pretty trim. The wide bars help. A good handling do all bike.
