Enjoy the ride!
I deployed Dec 5th of 2009 as a member of the Ky Army National Guard to Balad, Iraq. Before I left, I test rode a 2009 lowered RT. Since I've been here, I've thought about/obsessed over that bike. I've joined every RT forum I could. Researching the accessories, the "farkles", and talking to owners and other RT riders about their experiences.
Finally, last week I got to go home for my 2 weeks of R&R leave. I was the last guy in my unit to go home. While I was there, I went to the BMW dealer, test rode a 2010 lowered RT and then placed my order for a 2011 factory low, Ostra Grey RT. All options except ASC. My dealer e-mailed me today and told me that 10 my bike is being built this week and 2) the bike will be there in Louisville in about 65 days. I'm due to be home for good in 64 days. As if I needed more reasons to be excited about coming home!
This is probably the only chance I'll ever have in my life to buy a brand new vehicle. When I first started talking about this with the Mrs, she said "go on and get it, you deserve it after two deployments".. I do love that woman so!
I look forward to meeting fellow Beemer riders and am making plans to attend the rally in PA. I've been in contact with one of the local BMW clubs in Ky and have received welcome e-mails from them.
I hope to meet many of you out on the roads. Take care..
