Well, new to me.

Congrats, and welcome the the oilhead community, it's a fantastic bike!

Hope everyone is busy piling on the miles! Did a sweet 4/5 day over the holiday weekend. 1800 miles of relative bliss [aside from the occasional rain and my riding buddy's toasted rear tire]. Here's Rolf at sunset overlooking a Lake Seneca near the end of a glorious golden hour dash across the Finger Lakes NY region. Dinner in Watkins Glen thereafter was excellent. Can't recommend riding in upstate NY and West/Central PA enough!

Waiting for me to get her a new back tire.

Well this followed me home today……I had an R1150GS for a couple of years and liked it a lot. Sold it a couple of years ago and missed it….so finally I picked up a clean 2 owner machine with 40,000 miles. She seems to run out nice but was making a little clack at start up. Di a new can chain tensioner tonight and no more noise. Looking forward to putting some miles on her this fall.

My big girl (Greta) in Port Orford, OR after a 5991 mile, 28 day coast to coast (mostly) TAT trip this summer. After 44,000 miles she's still going strong

Signal Hill is always a popular spin.

Very nice. Where was that taken? It looks like the western part of the state.

Here’s my 2 from 1994 and 2002.

Another nice little ride close to home, Cape Spear, most easterly point in North America.

Thanks! Pic is from Ashfield MA, just beyond the intersection of Rts 116 and 112. If you know these roads, you know why I so often find myself in this neighborhood.

Once out west past Worcester, the riding possibilities sure do improve.

Both great bikes, love the period-correct RS vibes and man do I want an oilhead GS!

I'm lucky, from my house in West Newton [basically the confluence of rts 90/95] I can hop on backroads almost immediately that provide excellent riding [as long as it's not rush hour]. Everything from 95-495 is pretty densely populated but even roads like 62 and 117 offer a lot of leafy twisties. From 495-Worcester County is even better, and then, yes, then it gets amazing [at least North of 90, I still haven't found the best roads South, at least prior to Western MA].Everything West of Springfield that isn't a big town is pretty darn glorious.

Now all we need is for Spring to come again soon.
