New to the forum

[beemerboy]

Greetings all,

I've been riding since '71 and started riding BMW's in '02. I'm a member of numerous forums as I also own a Ducati and a Yamaha as well as a RT and a recently departed KRS. I stumbled upon this site today (insert embarrassed tone here) and was pleasantly surprised to know it existed.

Anyway, after a brief perusal of the site I find myself very impressed with what I see and look forward to learning more about the people and bikes represented here.

My previous K bike experiences have been this beauty:


And this one that just went to a new owner in New Mexico:


The K1 was more of an ocassional weekend ride. It was super nice with only 17K miles on it when I bought it in '02. The K1200RS was my foray into true sport touring and whetted my appetite for more. I'm hoping to snag a low mileage '06 bumblebee sometime soon.

Regards,
Randy

Thanks, Jamie. As previously stated I was hoping to become a "bumblebee" owner some time soon and now I are one. The deal got done yesterday so now all I have to do is arrange transport.

I've been on the internet submitting RFQ's and have four back with a range of $515 to $998. Some shippers palletize, some don't and that seems to be the biggest delineator of price.

I've used Federal Transport in the past and had a good experience but this time they are the high bidder. So, I'm open to suggestions.

Regards,
Randy

I will move this to our news section, maybe some of the "local" guys can offer some advice

Welcome to the site Randy, excellent choice of new bike (I might be baised).
