From a brisk, but fine ride this week.
The May 1996 Buffalo Creek wildfire is on the other side of the bike. Launched from a campfire not completely out.
In the distance can see the tanish aftermath of the High Meadow fire of June 2000. From a discarded cigarette.
Rosalie Peak at 13,575ft. is in the distance.

Here is a Pic Of my K1600 out today at some random covered bridge in PA!.
RoadKill... Nice you got out! I used to work out of Pittsburgh and know how nice the riding can be in PA. And it looks like we both have identical, not to mention sweet, bikes. nod.gif

Watkins Glen International - Speed Limit Strictly Enforced, Sort Of

I like this a little better:
Ha! Thanks, me too - I think I'll keep it!
I haven't found a road yet that I won't enjoy riding on.

The day I picked it up - March 2012 - first decent riding day of the year (Canada). IMG-20120317-00025.jpg
I understand the feeling:
Yeah, it's not a K16 -- think of it as a forefather.

Hey Mark, nice to see you in another forum (and in NYS, at least at the time). You may not have been on a matching bike in this photo but you had a matching helmet!I understand the feeling

Photo was taken some where in North Florida ... west of St. Augustine I think.
She turned 1 year old on November 14, 2012. I ride it nearly every day since I have retired ... the other "Germans" (autos) stay in the garage unless it is raining.
I have had some issues over the past year with it ... turn signal flashers replaced, electric windshield control switch will be replaced for the second time, shortly ... both instances made the windshield in-operable (part has come in at my dealer now) and ... and finally, a major issue with the front shock ... dealer is negotiating with BMW New Jersey for a new replacement (I am refusing a re-build shock ... this is what BMW New Jersey attempts to "stick up our noses" when replacement is needed). My service manager has been candid and honest with me ... states that the issues I have listed are not new issues with the 2012's ... others have come in for identical issues.
Regardless, I have enjoyed this amazing bike. It is nimble, fast, solid as a rock, quiet and very comfortable ... I have the stock GT seat (nearly identical feel to my R1200RT) and with the weight difference, it handles similarly to the RT. The sound system is outstanding, be it Ipod ... FM Radio or Sirius (channel 15 Studio 54 Rocks).
Some one said that this is not an "Around Town" bike and I disagree. I ride it everywhere and when not out on the open road, I look for excuses to do errands for my wife LOL. Be it on the open road or in heavy stop and go traffic (I live in Daytona Beach Shores) it is the perfect motorcycle.
Bike Week Daytona is coming up in March. If any BMW folks will be coming/riding in Daytona during bike week, let me hear from you. Would be great to get together with some other BMW devotees and do some riding together. My email is: wills_115@yahoo.com
Take care and ride safely!
William
I guess I do not understand how to post a picture.
