n00b greetings from sunny AZ
« on: February 12, 2013, 09:09:40 PM »
Just wanted to drop in and say hi. Recently got my first ever bike late in the day (48 year old rookie). Proud to now own a '92 K75RT (minus fairing add c bars). The collective wisdom here is just a gold mine!

hello.  I just got back from a family vacation in AZ. 
I found a new favorite road while there:  89A from Prescott to Flagstaff.   Unfortunately, I was in a rental car instead of my K75.  I think my wife and mother got tired of me saying "I wish I was on my motorcycle"!

I live in Cottonwood, so I ride 89a often. The local riders call the stretch between Prescott and Jerome " the viper." The stretch going from Prescott to Wickenburg is a sweet set of switchbacks too. Drop a line if you get back out this way!

Greetings right back to you from cloudy Seattle WA,

I just got my first ever BMW bike,... the fairing is something else.
I don't believe I waited this long to get out of the rain.
The Viper huh? Out here we would call it "The Nightcrawler".

Nightcrawler? What would that be? LOL.I lived in Capitol Hill for a year many moons ago, I can see how an RT fairing would be awesome there (except for the heat come warmer weather).

Once I had a Collie pup. Dug a hole and covered him up. Now I sit there by the hour. Waiting for a Collie-flower.

Nice to see you are familiar, Frankenduck. Good eats in town as well as a cool ride.

Warmest greetings to you, Michael.  I hope to be in a position to check out your road(s) in early June.  My bud and I are planning our grand southwest tour - again (as past plans have gone pear-shaped for one reason or another). Wish us luck!

Capitol Hill has been my home for more than a decade now. Howdee Neighbor.
With the heat come warmer weather I guess I just gotta pick my poison and I will take fairing flavored.
Lucky those warmer weather days are so few and far between... :blackcloud:   :laugh
