Hello all,
After a decade+ of absence from active motorcycling, I bought a 1995 K75 in Seattle, Washington State this June and rode it home to Northern Virginia.
Back in 1983, after learning to ride on two used Japanese bikes I bought a brand-new BMW R100CS and rode it for five years and 126,000+ miles until I wrecked it (and myself too, a little bit).
On & off afterwards, I owned a (very) used Ural +sidecar while posted to Central Asia and simultaneously, a new Buell Thunderbolt which I rode in Europe and the U.S. until I just... quit riding it a decade ago.
Back to motorcycling now and to BMWs as well. My late model K75T had always been well garaged and had two prior owners and 6,242 miles when I bought it. It took me on a 6,331 mile trip across the northern U.S. this Summer without any problems, other than me running out of gas twice.
