Hey,
I'm a new MOA member in Raleigh, NC. I recently purchased my 8th bike, a 2017 BMW R1200RT in all white. 13,000 miles on it and checked out by the dealer as good! It already has engine guards and a top case. I like to ride the country roads in North Carolina and the Blue Ridge Parkway area mountain roads.
My previous bikes (some years are guesses):
1970 Honda 70 minibike
1978 Yamaha 200
1990 Yamaha Virago 750
1994 Yamaha Virago 1100
1972 Honda CB750 (the original sport bike)
2007 Honda CRF 250
2009 BMW R1200RT-P
I regretted selling my RT-P, which was previously a local police bike with a great story. The kickstand sensor switch had been replaced 5 times since the police use it so much! I sold it because I didn't have time to ride it.
Now I have (or make) the time!
On my current ride, I added a Sargent low seat, RAM phone holder, and that's it.
I'm about to order a Nelson Rigg Defender Extreme cover.
I'm also looking for an indoor cover, warm weather riding shirt, and riding boots.
Any RT ownership advice gladly accepted!
