Guess I have to post my obligatory "I'm new" post...
Located in the true deep south in Mardi Gras central New Orleans. When the riding season may be long but the roads are boring...
Currently have quite the fleet of older bikes... I have;
1997 R1100RT with 133k miles and it's very very well kept;
2000 R1100RT-P and old CHiPS bike with 101k miles and it my running project as something is always not right with it... including the time the headlight switch crapped out on me and I had to splice some wires in the autozone parking lot together to get a working headlight...
2007 Husqvarna SM610- This one won't be with me long as I am working a deal for a well farkled 2001 F650GS....
2017 Sherco 300 SE-R six days. Now this is my woods weapon.... the question when riding this is "Will I be dodging the tree today or not..."
Joined up as a resource as many of my old bikes are a PITA to keep going... now as for the other BMW's I had....
2009 G450X - My biggest regret was even buying this bike.....
2007 G650X Xchallenge - If the vibes were not going to give me arthritis I would still have this bike....
2003 R1150GS- Great bike and heavy to pick up in the MOAB in a sandwash... (long story)
2002 r1150GSA- Was great but honestly for my riding I find the regular GS far better...
2003 F650GS - My "Fakar" was a lowered model that was a theft recovery... brought to regular height by me and the only plastics I could get were "Dakar" so it was the Dakar that was not a Dakar so it was a "Fake Dakar" = "Fakar". Was good but the folks that stole it and took it on a joyride caused it too have too many gremlins... but I did ride to Colorado and back on it... (Texas was just a bad experience on this bike)
Honestly I see myself getting a K bike in the near future... might look into an old K1100 or K1200 because I like to pay cash for my bikes lol...

As a contractor, I worked for many years for PERSCOM in Alexandria after retiring from AF in Col and moved to the DMV {Beltway bandit}. Later, I encountered Mrs-K bottling beer, and things progressed. She's now ridden 200K on various BMWs along w/me over 400K [
