Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW) as well as the furthering of
knowledge regarding owning, operating, preserving, repairing,
restoring, and studying BMW motorcycles, their history, design, and
manufacture; operating exclusively for pleasure, recreation and other

This is good news. If/when the VBMWMO website becomes remotely useful, specifically when they fix the forum, I might be interested in joining.

BTW nice job on the R1200 review, Jeff!
