Hi, greetings from north central Ohio. Several years ago I was involved with the old Honda Sport Touring Association and enjoyed several BMW test rides at our annual STAR events. I was hooked for sure but finances, circumstances, and other matters prevented me from being able to fulfill the dream of ownership. Over the years my interest changed from the Bricks to Oilheads and I got the opportunity to get an extremely well maintained '04 R1150R Rockster with only 7500 miles on the clock. Yeah, I know the Rockster isn't the most popular variation of the R1150R, but I'm very happy with it.

OK, my Rockster...
This was taken when I brought it home.
And then THIS is what it looked like three days later after I hit a deer! Didn't go down! Gotta love the ABS! Hit the brakes then hit the deer then wobble, wobble and on down the road I went. I did stop to pick up what was left of the fender tip. I hope that some day a hunter gets himself a deer and discovers a hunk of carbon fiber in her left hip!
It has since been replaced but the memory remains.
Let's see your Rockster.

Thank you, I like it too! I just wish they had made that matte black paint more durable! It scratches way too easy!
Ha! Before I even got home with it the guy I bought it from sent a text saying that if I ever want to sell it he'd buy it back. He had gotten a Boxter and his wife told him he could keep the Beemer or the Boxter but not both. He had it for 12 years and only put 6k miles on it. I'm not planning to let it out of my sight for a long time.
