Motorcycle USA pits the BMW K1200GT against Yamaha’s FJR1300 and the AE version. See how it fairs.
Waiting in the wings to take them both on is the new Kawasaki Concours.

R (http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/dictionary/R.htm):
Rat Bike - Bike made from several machines and kept on the road using as cheap as possible and painted matt black. Now has a class of its own and defined as any thing Mad Max would shoot at.
Rat Bike (#2) - A cosmetically challenged bike. It can be anything from a 'no maintenance' bike to a fine running 'sleeper'.
Rat Bike (#3) - The bike you use in foul weather or when you are going into a questionable neighborhood. A cheap reliable bike, but if lost or stolen is no big deal. This bike never gets washed.

Some days I have troubles lacing my shoes. That is why slip on shoes and Velcro were invented wasn’t it? So when I was presented with this link ( http://www.instructables.com/id/ERL9F0H8MYET2JY5YL/?ALLSTEPS ) purporting to teach how to lace a spoked wheel I was a bit intimidated. After looking through the steps I think I could, with time and patience, lace the wheels on the Roadster. I know this because they are cast.
