    New Member, 1ST BMW - Bloomington, IN

    Hi, New member. Picked up my new to me 2016 R1200RT at the beginning of July. Still taking it easy with getting used to it. Largest bike I've ever ridden. Man is it smooth on the highway....(wait, I'm doing 80 already? what?) Before that I've ridden occasionally on an older Honda...

    New member again !!!

    Hello MOA, I joined briefly in 2020 when I purchased my 2005 R1200GS, unfortunately I let that membership lapse. A friend encouraged me to ride the measly 300 miles to attend my first National Rally. Well, that was the longest one way motorcycle ride I’ve ever taken - 1,300 miles later - I’m...

    New Member, Anderson South Carolina, 2018 R1200RT

    Hello All! Over the past couple of years I have been keeping my eye out for a lightly used good condition Honda Goldwing (Honda brand loyalty). However, I have also been looking at the BMW K1600GT or BMW R1200RT. I have not ridden a Honda GL or a BMW K1600, but I have ridden the R1200RT...

    Greetings from Eaton Rapids Michigan

    Happy to be part of the BMW community once again. I rode a K1200RS for a number of years in the early 2000's but gave it up when my hips went bad. The hips are new and working well so I've picked up a bit of a project in a 1983 R65 that is running but needs some TLC. I've just now started...

    Hello! I've owned BMWs since 2012, but this is my first foray onto the MOA Forums. I ride a 2016 F700GS, and my husband rides a 2003 K1200ST -- his bike just turned over 100,000 miles yesterday. I live near Seattle, so can ride pretty much year round. Jan

    Long time BMW owner, first time member

    So I purchased a new R1200GS in November after owning several used BMWs - an 1974 R90/6 then a 2001 R1100RT not to mention my Dad's 1968 Triumph Bonneville. I've always wanted a GS so last year I decided to sell the Triumph to my twin brother and ship it back to PA and also sell the R1100RT. It...

    New Member: Glad to be here!

    By way of introduction: I know nothing about forums so I'll read the tips and hints before getting in over my head. Generally, my life has been about motorcycling since I was 6 and my father gave me a home-built lawnmower motorcycle scaled to fit. Since then I've logged (yeah... my father got me...

    Got my RT back!

    Hey there MOA'ers, I just bought a 99RT from a friend in Minneapolis, and rode it back to West Linn, OR. In 3 days. Yeah, I'm crazy. But 1800 miles in 3 days is an accomplishment, for me at least. I actually put 600 miles on her before I left MN, mostly to get my riding chops back, since I...
