Hi guys!
I just thought I'd drop in and introduce myself. I just joined after buying a '09 R1200RT at Grass Roots BMW in Cape Girardeau MO. It's my first BMW. I rode dirt bikes (mostly RM's) for about 15 years, then a Honda which went by the wayside when my son was born. When he graduated high school, I bought a V-Star which I just traded for the RT. I was actually looking for an RT at that time, but I found a steal and decided to try it out to see if I would get back into riding enough to justify the expense. Now here I am. the happiest man on the planet today with my RT in the parking lot!
I'm an air traffic controller here, but I'm a native of the Milwaukee area. I just have never been the Harley type and have purposely avoided them (no offense). I've been reading on these forums for months and will try not to ask questions before hitting the search button. If I make any stupid mistakes posting, I can live with some polite correction. I've got a lot to learn about farkling, so I'll be around a lot.
I'm hoping to do some quick jaunts this summer of 3-4 days and a little adventure. I've got gobs of vacation time and will be trying to get my feet wet as far as touring/camping.
I look forward to riding and meeting with you guys.
