Good morning,
My name is Steve Puglisi. I'm a brand new member as of today. I bought an R75/6 about two years ago and have put 12,000 miles on the old girl since then. Past motorcycles from my youth were a BSA and a couple of Nortons. That was in the late 60's early 70's. Also had 2 shovelhead HD's in the late 70's. Nothing else until the BMW.
Kathy, My bride of 45 years, loves to ride. Always has. We just did 400 miles in two days. Last 145 miles non-stop, Carmel to San Luis Obispo, CA. Failed electrical system convinced me not to shut the bike down. I think it's time to come into the 21st Century but I do love my old bike. Not a fan of big cruisers. I am looking at the R nine series. I'm 69 and Kathy is 75. She was quite comfortable on the trip including 145 non-stop miles. Is the R nine, with appropriate seat upgrades, going to work for her?
Thanks for listening and I do appreciate your comments.
Steve
