Hello and Happy New Year!

Joining you from Mission Viejo in Orange County a block away from Cook's Corner (home of the HD gatherings) and ready to play.

I'm returning to Motorcycles after a 20+ years of absence. I went through riders safety course and picked up a 2003 R1150RT-P. I've gone through all the bike for safety check and tuning. There is still some more work/checking to do as I plan to go on long distance rides. I've also removed the radio box and replaced it with a rear seat setup while keeping the authority guards in the front and rear.

Since I grew up in Switzerland, I'm preparing for a North Pacific Solo Tour from Socal to Calgary Canada and back as a practice run for my Swiss Alps run next summer. Below is a pic of my motorcycle.

I'm looking to forward to learn and contribute to this forum as best I can. Hope to see you on the road.

Cheers,
Kouros

Excellent first post. Nice photo.


Sounds like you are going to use your new bike for a lot of fun riding.

Welcome to the family. Glad to have you here and looking forward to reading your ride reports (with more pic, of course) from Europe.
