Just joined up, was probably a member when I last had a motorcycle about 25 years ago, when I sold my '72 R75/5.
Fast forward and I retired from teaching after almost 30 years, moved to the country, and started looking for a bike now that I have quiet roads and more time to explore them.
I do a lot of cycling (10,000 miles on my bicycle last year), and was interested in a small dual sport (like a KLX230), when a cycling friend puts his '84 R80ST up for sale.
Yup...so I went ahead and bought it...

Here's a pic of my old BMW from what seems to be a whole lifetime ago...
