Hello, everybody. I have been reading through some of the threads over the last month or so, and thought it a good idea to pop in and say Hi.
I joined the BMWMOA as a trial member as part of my researching my next bike purchase. I've ridden primarily big American bikes for the majority of my lifetime, Victory being the most recent. Call it a mid-life crisis or an epiphany, but the shuttering of Victory by Polaris really left me sour and got me looking at not just other brands, but completely different riding styles. Basically, I'm tired of doing what I've been doing for the last 30+ years.
In my scatter brained search for a new means of enjoyment, I've been like a kid in a toy store. This discovery process has been both exciting and mind numbing at the same time. My 52 year old body and brain tells me a nice, reserved Standard should do the trick. My "you're not old yet" heart tells me I want to go fast and do wheelies. My wife tells me "you've lost your damn mind"
At any rate, I'm investigating a couple different BMW models at the moment...and I ask forgiveness ahead of time for any forthcoming newbie questions
