Nothing wrong with Bings, and I've probably rebuilt a couple dozen of them, but not in the past 35 years! My brother once had an R69US BMW and rode with the Central Mass BMW group a long time ago.
Rick's BMW has (I believe) manifold or throttle body injectors on the intakes (? - I just glanced at it) which look like a very clean design. The whole bike was immaculate for a 2004 (or any) motorcycle. He stopped by to check out my garage as he's thinking of something similar in size for his collection of 8 Motorcycles plus workshop.
He's about to do a sweep down through Skyline Drive to some bike event in North Carolina where he'll be speaking to the group of doctors about his crash last year and his recovery process from the perspective of training. Then he heads to Alabama (I think) to some big motorcycle museum and another event where he's speaking about endurance riding (he has a umber of awards for endurance rides). He should be back after three weeks. That's a lot of saddle time. And I thought he rode a bicycle a lot.... He gets a lot of saddle time on his motorcycles, too.
