Any other brickheads going to Morton's Open House day in Fredricksburg this Saturday 6th (0900-1600)?
Suppose to be a nice day in the afternoon.
Cheers
If you see a K75 with a bike rack, that's me :)

I'm planning on attending depending on the weather, I'm always able to find some "bargain bin" items that I can't live without.
Looks like there may be some rain here in the morning but I like the ride on US 17. Look for the Dakar Yellow K75S.

I think mine was the only motobrick in attendance this year.
Attendance was much lower than previous years probably associated with the foggy/drizzle weather that morning and that they no longer provide a free lunch.
Because of this I was able to do two demo rides, the first on a 310R and the second on a F850GS. I found the 310 fun with a lot of shifting to keep up with the group, it was 666; 60mph, 6k rpm in 6th gear. If I stayed in the 6k to 8-9k rpm range it was responsive and not buzzy, all-in-all a fun machine and I think the GS version would make a great light off-road machine. The F850GS had a great instrument panel cluster and was very powerful with minimal buzz at the bars. The only issue I had was when upshifting from 2nd to 3rd where it felt as if the shifter was disconnected and would not engage to upshift. This may only be a concern with this bike but as I told the staff, "if I bought this it would be coming back for a fix".
As usual the staff at Morton's was great and I bought a Cardo system and as a great bonus won a pair of BMW Flow summer riding boots. It was a good trip and I was able to make it back to watch the Virginia - Auburn basketball game. Go Wahoos!

Congrats on the raffle, that's a great score! My wife crashed on her bike while training at speed and got a concussion, so it's minding her for a couple days. Oh, her bike is OK, just scratched a bit. Helmet did it's job and probably saved her from being a cabbage.

Good to hear she is OK - ATGATT
Still looking at a ride to MD next week?

Absolutely! It works out well, as I get to ride solo :)

These are the new BMW Flow summer riding boots I won at Morton's open house. I wore them home and found them to be much cooler than the full leather ones although they are not waterproof.

sexy... like eyeball pizza...

Legit kicks, and look comfy enough to walk around in too.

Yes, nice boots. I like them but if rain is in the forecast I will opt for my Dianese Gore-Tex.

You guys are so lucky to have choice kit. If it rains, I have to stop at a supermarket for plastic produce bags to rubberband around the Van's.

That works too.

Definitely a Go Fund Me case. (https://imgfast.net/users/4211/29/48/93/smiles/177381.gif)

Might as well try to fund a new helmet too.

I agree; you'll be tugging at heartstrings.
