New BMW Member from Wisconsin

[spadoman]

I'm not new to motorcycling, but I am a new BMW owner. I've been riding for over 40 years. I'm near the end of my motorcycling life so to speak, so I bought a smallish G650GS and plan on having some fun on dirt, gravel and two lane county roads.
I'll continue to travel on my other sport touring machine as well.
I hail from River Falls, Wisconsin, USA That is near the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, just across the river in Minnesota, about 30 miles away.

Plenty of great riding along the Mississippi River near my place. Plenty of twisted county roads and bluffs along the water with spectacular views.

Proud to own a BMW and proud to be a motorcyclist.

Welcome to the BMW clan spadoman. Lots going on here at the MOA site. Stop in often and enjoy your new 650.
Don't forget to check Regionals to see what's going on in your area. One fun one coming up is the Hiawatha Rally. Always well attended.

It's always nice to see more folks from Wisconsin, joining us!

WELCOME ... Hope to see you around this summer!

Welcone! If you leave now, you can make it to the Wild Goose Run in Beaver Dam. That is an event where all the BMW clubs in Wisconsin gather for brunch and comaraderie. But, like Karen says, come to the Hiawatha, we can look each other up.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome.Good to be part of the BMWMOA Family.

Todd, you are close. Yes, let's ride soon. I need to break this thing in. Do you do much off road? (gravel, dirt?) I'm retired, so I am flexible. E-mail and we can get together.

Anyone going to the MN Hiawatha or the national rally in Redmond, OR this year?

Welcome from the South East part of the state. As Randy said the Wild Goose for 2010 was a great place to meet other riders. My Hubby is our current l BMW chapter Pres. and this year the count was about 160 or so people.
