Bridgestone Exedra Max Radial

[FR56]

If proper tire maintenance/expense for the R3 are'mt to your likeing, then it might be best to look at other bikes, but, IMHO, that would be a big mistake!

There ARE no other "other bikes" that remotely hold the allure to extract this sum of cash from my bank account. I've been taken by the R3 since it was first introduced in the US around 2000. Its engine as visual focal point, and it's brick through a plate glass window approach to forward thrust and subsequent cruising strengths appeal to me in ways akin to my K1200R's Hossack(Duo-lever) front suspension and other historical BMW engineering traits make it appealing to me.


"The cheapest thing on a BMW motorcycle is the owner" (though you wouldn't know it by some of the cacafuegos on a popular BMW forum). I've owned six of em' over 40 years. Their historic longevity naturally lends to 'long term' cost factoring, and the "cheapness" carries over(at least with me) when other brands or moto genres are considered .

Went to Avon today on the front. First impression on the ride home is it makes the bike feel lighter and easier to turn in. $258.50 thanks to Graham at Springwood.

I thought it was made up until I looked it up!
GREAT word that I shall try to remember.
It also reminded me of the Del Fuegos MC!

I confess my fellow aficionados of the "audace"(Italian) I have been a hopeless word-monger since childhood.
I've also been culpable of other sorts of mongering from time to time.

I had to look it up too.

From Urban Dictionary:

Cacafuego
A swaggering braggart or boaster.

Cacafuego literally means "shit fire" in Spanish.

With all the spicy food I eat, I've had some fuegocaca on numerous occasions.

No way, Bull. Español, Spanglish, Chicanoese, et al, have been in my lexicon since the early seventies, mi loco viejo amigo .
