Hi. From Easley, SC, here and just got my first beemer, the K1200LT. Wow, what a ride. I came off a 2000 Honda Valkyrie (great bike too, just wanted to modernize). It was hard to part with, but if the beemer can have reliability close to the Valk, it will be a great bike. Never had real cruise on a bike. Anyway, just wanted to say hi. Think I am going to the rally in Tennessee next month. Hope to see you there....
