Hi, I have been lurking this site for some time, I like it very much, and as the proper time to purchase my first BMW bike is approaching, I can't wait any longer to be part of this group.
My plans are to buy a new R1200RT around July, I currently have two bikes one is an '86 Yamaha Venture Royale (24 years with it) and a '93 Suzuki GSX1100G.
I start riding back in 1982 and still enjoying in, now more, since I just retired last December.

Welcome from out of the shadows! ;) Sounds like you're really looking forward to the new bike...but how can you wait that long?? It would kill me!!
 
One of my week end riding friends let me ride either one of his beemers, a '93 K1100RS or a '05 R1200RT, that is why I discover how fine machine a BMW bike is, they "stick" to the ground, you really "feel" the handling, the ergonomics are great, etc.

I still enjoy my Venture, as I tell my friend I can ride that bike "in my sleep" but the RT is the one for me.

Some family issues $$ (-at the end of the day everything boils down to $$)- is what is keeping me from getting this bike not soon enough.
