Hello everyone - I'm Doug, new BMW owner in the older part of Shawnee, KS. 51 years old. Just got a 2007 R1200R courtesy of my stepdad, who decided to step back from riding. While I'm not new to motorcycling, am new to BMW ownership, and really appreciate forums like this to ask questions or search. My other bikes include a '05 Kawasaki Concours and a '72/'77 Honda CB750.

New to BMW ownership in Kansas City, KS

My stepdad is Mike Gunther - Will have to ask if he's been on this forum. He's owned a couple other BMW's, as well as a Triumph Tiger.
Have been to Engle motors over the years - great shop. Have known Pat for awhile now, and pretty sure wouldn't be an unfamiliar face to the rest. Haven't bought a bike there (yet) but over the years have gotten a lot of gear from them.

Voni and I joined the KC Club in 1984 and were active members until we moved to Texas 22 years later. We still consider Engles "our dealership" and bought our two G310GSs there - along with several other new and used BMWs over the years. That is why I thought I might know your step-dad.
Well...it's possible. Think around the late nineties he owned a light blue R1100, and then a few years later a dark gray and manilla colored RS, which he replaced with a silver Triumph Tiger. So if anything you might have been on the showroom floor at the same time he was. Don't think he ever joined the local BMW club, but can ask next time I see him.
Engles is an excellent dealership. Their shop has grown so much over the years (Can remember when their current Triumph showroom was Donnell Suzuki).
Certainly...
TY everyone for the replies. Still getting used to the BMW way of doing things but so far really like the bike. Looking forward to next riding season.
