Welcome to the MOA and forum! Lots of bikes and miles under your belt I can see. What drew you to the BMW?

Sorry I can't help with the weather...I'm native to St. Paul...but I left a long, long time ago! Still come up every so often...during summer, which I understand is one weekend in July!

Nice! Welcome to the forum!
I'll bet the members would like some pictures of the trailer hitch set up in the 1600 part of the forum.

Was sort of feeling I was losing my enthusiasm for motorcycling and getting somewhat bored.
The GL1800 Goldwings are nice but getting to be a 15 year old design and lacking he fun factor.
I needed to get the excitement back into something that I normally enjoy thourghly.

The K1600 GTL-E was the ticket......absolute blast to ride and a technical marvel.
Plus the wife likes the rear passenger setup......she has to be happy ya know.

I love this bike......brought me back to the excitement I had when I bought my first street bike at 18 years old.

Thanks....

Welcome Aboard!

Brian,

Welcome to the club and the forum - Nice bike you have there, I know because I have its identical twin!

I agree they're great bikes, in fact I rode mine to St. Paul last year for the MOA International Rally - be sure you join us in Billings this July.

Thanks for being a member!

MOA Patch??

I'm wondering how I can obtain an additional 3" MOA patch?

I want to put these on my jacket......one on each sleeve.
I looked in the Gear Shop but didn't see it.

Thanks....
