It is official! The BMW R1100S is on the road. I took it down the driveway last night once the transmission job was done, but before buttoning up the plastics. More on the transmission job later...
The one thing I did take care of when I got home from C&C this morning was to tackle the ABS reset. I have found a bunch of useful information here

And a PDF here

Between these two articles I made a nice little jumper to add to my BMW Motorad special tools bin. And the reset was successful!
Later I suited up in full gear, much to my amusement on this 85F day, and took her out for a spin. Put about 10 miles on the clock running down the same route I shake the Suzuki down on.
Initial observations are: lots of shake, plenty of buzz, pegs are too close to my ass for great comfort, engine clacks something fierce.
Time to go shop for summer riding gear!
