I just found this site from the Micapeak e-mail list.
It is great to hear opinions from around the world. I regularly converse with your countrymen on the AF1 Aprilia Forum about those silly Italian street bikes.
I also own a Futura.
I live in Texas. No I don't have any horses or oil wells.
I do work for an oil company though.
I have a 2001 R1150GS. The good looking yellow one. I have ridden as far as Seattle and back, roughly 6000 miles round trip. I try to take at least one long trip a year.
I am planning on riding to Alaska this summer. With any luck, I will get laid off from work and have the whole month of July for the trip.
I have a down payment on a 2006 GS Adventure. But, getting laid off or sacked from work could make it hard to go through with that purchase. I am not planning on purchasing it until after the Alaska trip. I have my GS set up the way I like and don't want to take a new bike to Alaska. I will have to give up my 1st place in the queue for the ADV at the Austin Texas dealer.
I will probably have to sell my Futura and my GS to afford it.
I look forward to hearing from you. Also, I hope to get over there to ride one day. I will definitely ask here for advice when I do.
Cheers,
Chris
