Greetings all. I have been riding BMWs off and on since I was 17. My first ride was a '71 R75/5. Fast forward many years later I had to sell the airhead but always wanted another BMW. Purchased a Triumph Thunderbird 1600 (still have) but missed the roundel. 3 years ago I picked up a super clean 94 K75 with 9300 miles on it. Last year I got a low mileage 02 R1150R. While each bike had certain functions, none were set up for touring. In looking for a touring bike in the fall I narrowed it down to a Tiger Sport 1050 or 1200. But once I saw a 2016 R1200RS I was hooked. Just purchased it last week in Vermont at Frank's. After some accessories are installed I will ship it home. Excited to ride this fine machine! |

I’ll hold my hands up. A mini rant. It pisses me off when folk from the US assume in an international forum that everyone on the planet knows the abbreviation for their States. It is a narrow US centric mindset that is far from unusual in the US of A. |

Zitat von Sanemancured im Beitrag #8 That is a problem that happens often. But as a counterpoint I have run into many Europeans that when speaking to them in various forums are talking about flying to New York, passing through Washington DC, then driving down to Orlando, Florida before swinging though Las Vegas, NV then checking out Los Angeles CA before heading home and saying they have a week to do it. There's a saying that often holds true: Americans think 200 years is a long time. Europeans think 200 miles is a long distance. And on the internet Everyone is a dude and American until proven otherwise. i.imgur.com/4atB5x8.png |
