6000 mile service completed!

And the ST is running great!

I dropped the R1200ST off at BMW North Houston yesterday morning. They didn't have the promised loaner bike available, so a tech dropped me off at work and then picked me up in the evening to get the bike back.

While I waited for a tech to finish doing the Texas state inspection (so I can get Texas plates) I chatted with the other mechanics. They were impressed with the rat's nest under my seat. One guy said he'd never seen so many electronics installed on a motorcycle. When they heard that I'd installed them all myself, one asked if I needed a job. :)

And the bike is pretty again. I'd washed it only a week ago, but they washed it again and even polished the wheels (I watched). No pics though. Cost for the service and inspection was $302. I think the service alone would have been $270.

Immediately after picking it up, I rode over to Clay's Restaurant and hung out with the TWTexans tuesday night meet, which was pretty well attended this week.

Yeah, that report is coming. I've been so dead at night that I haven't even pulled pictures off my camera yet. Soon!
