Hello from South Dakota

[tsorenson]

Hello everyone,
New to MOA but not new to the moto world BMW. Why it took me so long to join, not sure. I have been riding since I was a young kid when my dad started me off on a 50cc Kawasaki. Fast forward to the BMWs, started off on a 2012 GS1200 and moved through a '16 R1200R, '22 K1600GT, traded it off last fall after a deer tried to take me out for a '23 GS1250 and while I was at it traded the razor off on a S1000RR! Bad time of the year for getting miles in on a new bike or two but gave me time to make GS mine.

Willkommen TS from the way up north latitudes of the USA!

You're apparently into Lime Green and U know how to shoot some spray paint! It's certainly a one-of-a-kind GS.
Do they offer off-road training up in the Dakotas? Maybe U could use a refresher this spring. Get U a Paul-B Stipend.
