Thanks, Gino! (still waiting for the credit union to call, although
as far as I know my credit is flawless) Who knows, Gino....it's
entirely possible I might like this bike and get rid of the BMW,
something you would understand ......everyone seems to really say
great things about it. I read up on a lot of reports, and like I
told you I was lusting after a ZRX for a long time. But they are hard
to get in CA, and the 2001s won't be (realtively) cheap like this end-
of-year bandit.
Myself being one of the world's greatest rationalizers, and not
having any real adult responsibilities like children in school, I
just tell myself I need a good work bike for riding around in the
city where I live...I think this one will do it.

Congrats!
I too was looking at the Bandit but decided to get a 2001 KLR instead. A
new bike is soooo much fun! I think I'll keep it in the dining room
this winter.

With the Fog City, you can keep the shield closed, and then there is no flow
of cold air, so the glasses won't fog up either.

I wouldn't say it's possible that you might get rid of the beemer,
but more like highly probable

Gino, I am open-minded, and as much as I love that bike (R1100RS in
black) anything is possible. However, I am looking forward to having
all three here in the house, with my two little doggies. I know, it's
perverted, but perverts have more fun!

still waiting to hear from the credit union.
