Yesterday was a phenomenal day in the Carolinas and I pulled my two favorite toys out of the garage and took a few pictures to share with fellow 6Speeders.

The bike is a 2002 BMW K1200RS and is, in my opinion the 2 wheeled equivalent of the 996 TT. The only mods I've done are carbon fiber inner fender over the rear wheel, smoked windshield, and "always on" marker lights as well as "blue-ray" headlight. This is a supremely comfortable longe-range high performance sport cruiser that never ceases to bring a smile to my face.

My Porsche is a 2003 996 TT with EVO Stage II, PSS9's, PS2's, painted console, instrument trim rings, painted rear bumper **** (thanks to Eric at Bumperplugs.com...a local), Artec MK wheels with Seal Grey centers and Ralph Boothe center caps and lugs. The pedals are from Ultimatepedals.com and although hard to see, have the Porsche "turbo" logo engraved on them. The gas pedal is perfect for heel-toe BTW. I LOVE this car!! I have no intention of letting it out of my grip anytime soon. It was purchased new from Hendrick Porsche here in Charlotte, NC.

Now....what to drive to work tomorrow?



















Not Porsche-related, but nonetheless, a cool picture of my son breaking through the line as a running back that I took last fall. He was a junior then and will be the starting running back again this year as a senior. Sorry, couldn't resist. Sue me. I'm a proud dad.

 

Nice rides. Lawn looks nice too. Love the wheels on the TT. The picture of your son is VERY cool!

 

Man wow, those pics are awsome, so is your rides Your sons pic is hypnotizing me! You should enlarge it and frame it!

 

Actually, we made a poster of the football pic and it hangs in our game room. The file happened to be on Photobucket when I loaded the car pics and I thought others might enjoy it.

 

It's good to see that I'm not the only "Dad" on the board. Nice toys. I too love the BMW bikes. Hmmmm.....I may have a little more room in the garage.......

 

The pic of your son's game is way cool. well done.

 

Love the football picture. I was starting tailback the year too (senior). How many yards did your son run for? How'd the playoffs go?

 

Nice pics. Am still feeling a bit dizzy from that football pic. LOL!

 

Last season: 1400 yards, avg. 5.7 yds/carry, 19 touchdowns, was All-State Running Back

His team won the State Independent School Championship.

 

The football picture looks like 3D stuff. It makes me dizzy. Hey, I'm a proud great great grandfather!!

 

wow. I had a hair under 1200 with a hair over 7 yds/carry. Only 8 games for me though...played flanker first game and had to sit out a little bit due to a head injury..

beat three state ranked teams, lost second round of the playoffs though.

 

He's a relatively small guy...5'10", 167 lbs. Just fast. Doubts he'll play in college. Wants to run track there.

 

awesome! i love it when little guys like us get to run over the big boys. i'm a mere 5'9" 170. best of luck to him next season!

 

What do you think about the new K1200S?
