Here are a couple of pics from my recent Labor Day Weekend ride to the Motorcyclepedia Museum in Newburgh NY. This photo was taken on Route 97 along the PA / NY border. After the museum I met my wife in Watkins Glen for the BMW Finger Lakes Rally. https://rickgz.smugmug.com/Travel/Motorcycle-Trips/F...

Hey Rick, I think I saw you at BYOB...I have the same bike but was riding a KLR that weekend...for the dirt :-) http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/q569/catchina/Tags/9acd7ced2faf7444fe4c83127f926b1c_zpsef3cffcf.jpg Yep, that is my Red Head ! Sorry, I don't remember but I do hope I was nice to you....

Here are a few pics of my '11 R bike during my first year of ownership. Here she is being delivered to me. http://rickgz.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/My-New-BMW-R1200-R/i-6QXvzFV/0/L/P1010001-L.jpg On one of my first rides: http://rickgz.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/My-New-BMW-R1200-R/i-GmZvr2H/0/L/P1010023-L...

I just had a set of Motolites installed on my R bike. Though I don't ride at night that much, I plan on using them for daylight conspicuity. So far I like them and my riding buddies tell me it is very noticeable when I am behind them. I like that they are low and make a nice big "safety triangl...

Nice. I wish they had red in 2009. My question is: how did you get the Army to deliver your bike? Just curious about the transporter, Army on the outside, bikes on the inside. Not the Army. My guess is he sold the side of his rig for advertising. Actually the guy I found to transport my bike was pr...

Great minds think alike! Your states ridden map would look a lot like mine if I knew how to post one. Well, except for the Alaska part.

Well, after a month long wait, on a cold and snowy New Years Day evening, my new to me 2011 Candy Apple Red R1200R finally made it to my home. http://rickgz.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/My-New-BMW-R1200-R/i-mrdQV4h/0/L/P1010002-L.jpg http://rickgz.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/My-New-BMW-R1200-R/i-6QXvzFV/0/L/...

My bike is scheduled for delivery tomorrow on New Years Day. What a great way to start off the New Year! However it will be a several months till Spring before I will be able to ride and give my observations.

Happy New Years to All!

I still don't have my bike, but here is a pic from the dealers website before the bags and GPS were added. http://rickgz.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/My-New-BMW-R1200-R/i-sRWGhzM/0/L/My%20new%20R1200%20R%202-L.jpg Can't wait till it gets here. Then I won't be able to wait till spring gets here so I can r...

Found my R1200R. A beautiful 2011 Candy Apple Red Roadster with only 1300 miles. It is equipped with ABS, ASC, Heated Grips, On Board Computer, Sport Screen, System Cases, Luggage Rack & Top Case, BMW Nav IV and mount. It is being shipped to me from Adventure BMW in VA (great to work with BTW) a...

Small world. Yes we definitely should get together sometime to discuss our R passion. If you also happen to be a skier, we should get some turns in as well. I am going Saturday to Holiday Valley.

Hello All, I just signed up after lurking for a bit. I am currently BMWless after selling my 1150GS last May which I had put 80,000 miles on. I have also owned a couple of Airheads so I am pretty familiar with the BMW world and am a MOA member, ADVrider etc. Anyway, this is the first time in 15years...
